> Plus the entire thing is in flux right now between flakes, home-manager, and a desire to kill nix-env. This is my big gripe with Nix. There are so many things that are almost ready, or almost integrated, and advanced users are typically already using them. It makes it feel like next year will always be a better time to recommend Nix to newbies. And a lot of the more ambitious contributions to Nix and Nixpkgs that are really, really exciting as a user tend to sit in pull request limbo for a very long time, sometimes dying on the vine. Guix doesn't seem to have that problem yet, but I don't follow it as closely. It's painful to feel sort of totally married to it but also like I can't whole-heartedly recommend picking it up to most people I know who might enjoy it once they got going.
