A comment on Making a PR to Nixpkgs. Parent comment
The main pain points people identified:
- Getting started with Nix is hard.
- The documentation isn't great for getting started, for getting some task done, and is spread across many places.
- Debugging bad Nix code is hard.
- Contributing back to Nix is hard.
Despite the above, I think most of the respondents had just started using Nix within the last year or two.
I think some of the Summer of Nix effort is towards improving documentation. e.g. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/summer-of-nix-documentation-st...
