I would, too, but the barrier to entry is much higher. This has been discussed ad-nauseum, but "getting started" with nix (or home-manager, or devshell) is an experience worse than trying to do anything with Linux in 2005. Cobbling together a bunch of blogposts and docs which kind of, sort of, might let you piece together a config which works after enough iterations and unreadable backtraces is far more difficult than it needs to be, and that's before you get into cases like "I want Python linters in my environment, so I need Python, but I also need access to some modules from Python on the system, which aren't installable (let's say `python-apt`, which cannot be installed from pypi), and..." For probably the 500th time someone has said it on HN this week, nix will never be really usable or gain wider adoption until someone puts together solid documentation, or even a solid "getting started -- intermediate" guide which can bridge between "let me set up a trivial env" and "I'm running nixos and it's nix all the way down"
