> The only real reason not to use it

I am sorry but that is fanfiction that nix people want to believe. There are numerous reasons not to use nix, a few: - Incredibly smaller community - Incredibly smaller support from community and enterprise - Yet another programming language - that is difficult to grok

Those alone can kill any technically sound project, but there are lots of others. Such as slow installs, storage requirements etc.

I agree with the programming language, it seems to be more difficult than necessary, I don't get why the syntax had to be so outlandish.
