I think I am similar to you - hate complexity, hate shiny things - but, I love Nix because it solves a real problem. That problem being deterministic builds. It is a common and real problem that builds with "state" cause problems very often for people not even doing complex things. I think Nix is complex, but because it solves a real, common issue I grin and bear it.
