For devops engineers and system administrators, yes. For the rest of us, Nix is still missing friendlier face and a gentler learning curve.

- n42 5y agoI'm not sure why you're downvoted so much -- I am all in on Nix. I use it professionally. I agree with you 100%. I'm convinced whoever solves the UX issue of Nix will have the next "big thing" on their hands. I hope it's the OSS community and not a repeat of Docker, Inc.
- takeda 5y agoBy "rest of us" do you mean developers? I find Nix especially useful on that front by being able to provide a common dev environment and also when used for CI it can speed up builds through its caching. They do have unfortunate name of the project and it is harder to find articles about just Nix, while NixOS is more unique.
