Yeah, problem with nix is that it's different. The nix language is a lazy-functional DSL, which takes a bit of effort to learn.
The thing is, "better" does imply "different." The syntax is weird and difficult, but it's the linchpin of the whole system. It's much, much better than your typical packaging system and worth the effort to learn it.
