> I could likely completely nuke my setup and redo it all in less time and effort than learning Nix. In fact, I can say it takes about an hour - I usually do it annually. Right, this is pragmatic. I think most of the people on NixOS at least tried using Nix on Linux or macOS first, liked the taste of it, and then wanted to try at the OS level. The most accessible benefit of Nix is if you're using multiple computers, Nix makes it easy to get the same versions of the software you use on each. I thought that was useful for vim/tmux/fish. Where I'm optimistic for Nix in the future, for developers, is that Nix is great at describing the packages for a development environment. It's neat to just have a single command to run & have everything ready, compared to hoping that the README contains the right package dependencies for your distribution.
