This is only sort of true: I’ve found that Nix on a Mac is great except that about 10% of the derivations just don’t work: some are excluded explicitly as broken and some just fail in strange ways and need lots of debugging.

For me, most of packages worked, the ones that didn't were actually justified to not work, definitively far more than 10% (it was more like 90% for me). The stuff that didn't work was justifiably linux specific, except one thing, that now memory escapes me what it was.
