A comment on Nix: An idea whose time has come. Parent comment
If its a personal PC I probably also want the package if I ever were to reinstall the PC. => Use NixOS and add it to the configuration.
If its for work I probably want my colleagues to have the package as well => nix-shell.
Once I started using Nix just quickly installing a package felt really hacky to me, just like a dirty workaround.
I just hate when some project's README.md says: "Yeah, just do apt-get install <long list of packages> and you are good to go".
The chance that this works successfully is about 0.
