It's not bad, though: https://repology.org/repository/nix_stable

Haskell and R packages will be added soon to give a more complete picture.

You're right, it's not bad, but chances are one will need to do a bit of packaging work if using NixOS for many different or complicated things.

But as I said, it's all in all really nice to work with Nix.
