As a huge NixOS enthusiast I wholeheartedly agree with you. It works amazing for me but only because my autistic ass hyperfixated on it to the point of tinkering with it every afternoon for months.
I would love to be able to recommend NixOS to people but unfortunately, the lack of good documentation is a huge problem.

Relatable 💯 I had a basic functional system after the third time trying NixOS. But then I started trying to get my old workflow and programs back and anything missing from nixpkgs was such a pain.
But I persevered and now keep trying to get others interested to share the pain, but they (rightfully) aren’t very excited about the prospects. These are people working in tech and who have written code for at least 5 years BTW.
Unfortunately my efforts of communicating problems and solutions to the NixOS community mostly fall upon deaf ears or resistance. Maybe it’s the way I communicate it. Dunno.
