I tried nix-darwin for half a year, and ran into endless problems: poor docs, huge default disk usage, non-trivial to customize, etc. After 6 months, I eventually went back to a mix of Homebrew and mise, which does most of what I need for <1% of the hassle.

I still believe something like nix is the future of building software, I'm just not sure it'll be nix itself.
