I feel that Nix solves a lot of the same problems in a better way. The ideas implemented in that project have a lot of potential and I wish that the community focused more on user experience for new users. Since I've started using Nix, I had so many cool ideas about what it could be used for.

It's a shame that it has such a steep learning curve.

I'm interested in nix too, but lots of folks still wanna keep their .deb and ..rpm based systems just the way they are, but enhance them.

Lots of folks are against a fundamental rethink. It'll have to be introduced a piece at a time (like with snaps and flatpak).

Hopefully we'll end up with something like nix in the end.
