> It's easy to learn about Nix if you know where to look for.

I understand you are saying it with the best intentions but it might sound like not the most correct way of defending a tool being criticized for its lack of documentation or easy of use.

I feel that the criticism regarding documentation is too harsh. Speaking from experience, Nix has more documentation and community resources than most open source projects that I've encountered.
Most open source projects have a woeful lack of community resources and documentation though, so that’s not really saying much.

Ultimately documentation doesn’t solve usability problems it just makes note of them.
