Nix just got a huge overhaul, with most functionality getting bundle under a single easy to use 'nix' command (i.e. similar to 'apt'), rendering a lot of the old commands obsolete. That currently creates a bit of a confusing situation, as lots of docu is about old commands, while new commands that look similar can behave quite a bit different (e.g. 'nix-shell' != 'nix shell'). Nix Flakes are another new thing and also create a bit of confusion and ugliness (e.g. packages being named 'nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux...').

That said, I haven't found Nix hard to use, quite the opposite. The new 'nix' command is pretty self explanatory, it's just a little incomplete in spots. And the Nix language is quite simple and easy to understand if you have ever touched a functional language. Compared to all the other Linux stuff I have played with over the years, it was a very pleasant experience so far.
