I didn’t say “just use Nix”, I jokingly made a reference to street evangelists and the similarities they have in their approach with people who are excited about a particular technology. In fact I said “Nix or otherwise” implying there are many options when it comes to reproducible per-project environments.
joking or not, people are very tired of the evangelists (fanbois?) from these ecosystems, and this culture around them is one reason others stay away. The broader trend is developers are burnt out on tooling churn
