Hi, I use Nix and Emacs at work. I have, at points in the past, promised to write a blog post about how we use Nix.
It's not about being hip or fringe. Nix solves problems we have. And we're not the only ones. The founder of Hashicorp puts it this way:
> I'm actively trying to work through my Nix God complex. It's been so long that when I see non-Nix users complain about issues getting software to run, I'm truly confused. It's like someone looking at a river lamenting about having to ford it while I'm riding a bicycle on a bridge

Nix isn't ready to be mainstream yet. That doesn't mean you should talk down to those who are working towards that today. It is entirely possible that you may end up working with it yourself in due time.
