I agree and I totally get where you are coming from. I tend to give my positive perspective about Nix whenever I see too much hate because I think it's really a wonderful tool, up there with git and emacs. Sometimes the critiques I see are akin to "pointers in C are so confusing. I wish I had a nice GUI to be able to program with them". To me that critique misses the point of the power of the underlying software.
