Flakes are undeniably useful but it's gated behind an experimental flag and documentation work is ongoing. For now, it just shouldn't be the first point of entry for beginners.

Although I don't have direct experience with the legacy system, I could definitely picture it being very frustrating managing inputs via the NIXPATH envvar rather than explicitly with flake locking.
