I came to the same conclusion. If I have a problem that I know nixos can solve it's useful tool in my belt. But man you try to do anything out side the box the learning curve is massive. Good for those that know but when you only get to tinker a few times a week for a couple hours just getting things to work can be fun at first but gets old very quick.

Okay sure, but that's like trying to use iOS and then saying it's too restrictive. NixOS is pretty clear on what it offers and what it can do.
