The problem with Arch is that configuration is by hand so you have to do it every time. With Nix you configure it once and then you can deploy it anywhere. Also it's pretty much impossible to break since the system is immutable and you can boot to a different revision any time.
I managed to brick my revisions/snapshots before
Sure you can make a bad one, but you can always switch to a different one.
I meant it as in: I bricked all previous snapshots while also having bricked the one I had selected, so I bricked my whole system.
