I dislike that the way nix is onboarded for new folks is nix-env, and then for the next documentation to say: nix-env is bad don't use it.

If it was bad why show it to me at all?

Eelco likes `nix-env` and its new equivalent, but not many other people in the community share this opinion... That's why its in the nix documentation but everyone else uses something else.
