I've found home-manager to be more trouble than it's worth for most things:

* Config files aren't always stored in text (e.g. KDE Plasma, Gnome)

* It's all-or-nothing usually, unless you can find a way to make the home-manager config your "base"

* Changing settings isn't integrated, and requires editing/rebuilding/reopening (e.g. I can't just hit Ctrl+ to increase font size in VS Code, I have to edit a config file, run home-manager switch, then usually reopen)

* Plugins, especially things like extension stores, are a hack and a half. You have to hunt for hashes, then change it every time your old version falls off the CDN.

It's a nice idea, in theory, but it only works in a vacuum.
