While Flox does improve the Nix UX, I don't think that's the most exciting thing about it. The real impact is in bringing the underlying power of Nix to people who would have never used it.

Nix has all sorts of core portability, security and management capabilities that are massively valuable in a distributed and diverse env dev team, but are rarely used because they're too hard.

If Flox takes off, many more developers would benefit from those capabilities, and most of those would still have minimal to know understanding of the underlying Ni complexity.

FWIW, that's at least why I invested in them ;)
