The initial shell is slow: nix reinstalls a bunch of stuff the first time it runs. We’re planning to add a progress bar that makes that clear.

Sorry for the hiccups – it is our first pre release version but feedback like yours helps us harden it. It should definitely be considered beta software right now, but we’ll have it hardened before announcing a GA/1.0 version

No problem! I suspected as much about the download, a progress bar would be excellent though. Overall, this is a fantastic idea, and I definitely see myself switching to it basically immediately.
