> Since you'd already installed it, wouldn't trying it in some capacity before uninstalling it have made sense?
Fair observation. I installed nix as a prerequisite for DevBox, discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32600821 . I thought DevBox sounded really cool (and still do!), but the Quickstart took frustratingly long, and ended up not working. Faced with the prospect of debugging it, I opted to cut my losses and uninstall it instead.
That said I'm very much open to trying nix again in the future. Also I want to acknowledge how much effort went into getting /nix to work on the Mac; it appears that was a heavy lift indeed.
