I don't mind the opinion "it's better than homebrew" The thing is, everything is tradeoffs. In some ways I'm sure Nix is better than homebrew. If you want to compel me to try it, tell me why you think it's better than homebrew so I can understand if it solves problems that I also have. That's what bothers me, I know not everyone uses my stack and I do love hearing about what others are doing differently but please please please tell me why you think it's better. Simply saying "Vim is better than standard editors" is pointless, saying "Vim keyboard shortcuts have an extremely steep learning curve, but, once the new way of thinking becomes second nature to you, you will find that you can do things far faster than before. This is especially useful for me personally as the 'context switching' from mouse->keyboard->mouse->keyboard->mouse was an extremely limiting factor for how quickly I can work and Vim (in particular Vim keybindings -- I use them in VSCode today) allows me to keep my fingers on the keyboard for more time before I do something which /requires/ the mouse, this makes me more productive. That said, the only way to learn that was to force myself to use Vim and no other editors which resulted in what was probably a 2-3 week period where I was completely useless, but, ultimately 15 years later I'm sure I've made that time back tenfold."
