Any hands on experience using it? I’ve looked at both this and devenv but have some level of reluctance to go with an opinionated wrapper like these as I feel like the second you need to do anything outside of the bounds of what they allow you to do you’re back in regular Nix land anyway
I've been using flox for around a year and have been pretty happy with it. It's had a few growing pains, but overall has been very reliable. I adopted it as I wanted something to install up to date development tools on top of my OS (Debian stable) and looked at flox and devenv, I went with flox as it supported zsh, which devenv didn't at the time.
I only have a few CLI/TUI programs installed with it, I try to keep it to a minimum. Just my editor, several language servers, AI tools and some other VM/container tooling. I haven't needed to break out of the happy path with it as of yet. I follow Nix progress with hopes of it eventually maturing into something better to use directly, but given the current state I prefer the wrappers at this point.
