Nix learning curve wouldn't be bad if the documentation wasn't so bad. I have had to put together my configuration based on couple of blogposts from randoms.
Documentation (and cli assuming you use nix-command) today is bounds better than in the past. A huge shoutout to Jon Ringer who always seems to pop up making a positive impact whenever I google something nix-related.
If you're trying to do something with Nix and it works, neat.
If you're trying to do something and can't get it to work, you'll have a very difficult time. (It demands a depth of understanding, and Nix is a bit weird).
Hopefully in future, "documentation", "blogposts from randoms", etc. help alleviate that pain as more people use it.
