I'm the first to admit that nix is way too cumbersome to use, but this alone doesn't seem like enough value add.
- eikenberry 3y agoThe value needed by Nix is not more/better tech but an on-ramp for people who want to use Nix without learning all about all the various ways to do thing. Just having a single, opinionated onboarding experience will add a ton of value to the project.
