Couldn't agree more. I love Nix (well, i have nits with the lang/UX), but Flakes is essential imo. Using Nix without Flakes is going through 99% of the trouble for concrete, reproducible builds but then dropping the last 1%. I had my non-Flake builds break like it was a mutable operating system. I just don't get why Flakes aren't the standard.
