The problem is that whenever you want to do a quick tweak, you have to do a `home-manager switch`, which can take a good 15 seconds or so. It's not the end of the world, but it's a very annoying bit of friction. It's particularly painful if you're trying to quickly test out changes that you're not confident of and iterate. This is compounded by the fact that home-manager currently doesn't work properly with the new flake based profiles (https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/2848 https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/2848).

Yeah, I don’t have home-manager generate configurations for vim. I have home-manager generate a symlink to my version-controlled vimrc. This way I get the quick setup benefits of home-manager without the slow reload times. Incidentally, I just polished my script for working around that issue: https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/hm-switch https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/dotfiles/blob/master/scrip...
