I have also invested a hugely disproportionate amount of time in writing my Nix config. However, that is only because I found it fun to massively over-engineer everything and wanted to make my work easily usable for others.

That said, I could have gotten away with significantly less and I'm really not sure what you're referring to with having to remake your Flake. I'm not aware that the output schema changed over the last years. Could you provide an example of what caused you to rewrite your configuration?

I'm not doubting your experience, the documentation situation is not great and I could absolutely see someone getting stuck in a situation where they felt they needed to start over. I'd just like to know what the community could do to avoid these pitfalls.
