A company I worked at embraced nix. Beforehand I was a big docker fan and had few issues with it (yes there were occasionally caching issues and damn it docker figure out the issue with hyperkit on mac os, but largely its a productive tool). From an outside perspective nix just felt like alot more work, and nearly no one (except the people that set it up) could ever get it to work. So basically the entire build process for the core of the system was something that literally no one in the company wanted to touch. I'm sure if I was an insider on the tool I would appreciate the added stability you get on the backend, but at face value it seemed like it just made builds unapproachable on the front end. I'm happily back to using docker and haven't looked back.

Out of curiosity, any reason why you didn't want to understand it? You spent time learning docker, why this was different?
