> On macOS does this replace Homebrew and MacPorts?

I use Homebrew for casks and the few CLI tools I need for all my projects (e.g. the Github CLI tool) and I use Nix for CLI tools I need to work on a specific repository using specific versions (e.g. node).

Seconding this! When I'm on a Mac, I use Homebrew only for casks (automatically downloading .apps and DMGs for macOS GUI), and Nix for project-specific development environments. I do also like to use Nix for globally available packages, though, especially via Nix-Darwin.
