I used Linuxbrew for a while before switching completely to nix-pkg due to some recurring issues I had downloading some packages. nix-pkg is quite nice and noticeably faster, although rough around the edges, and the commands are hard to remember (so I just set some aliases), but overall I am happy.

For Linuxbrew, having packages installed under, /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew makes you wonder how much of the developer's mind is "works for me" instead of following more common sense conventions like at least put them under /usr/local or /opt instead of some special user folder in /home.
