Why aren’t you using a flake?

Not the person you asked but for me:

It's because they're a documentation mess caught in a release/stable discussion that I don't understand.

Perhaps that changed in the last year, haven't looked into them again since then - but unless there's a trigger (new server setup or official release for example) I simply don't have the time and energy to invest.

As someone who has switched their system to flakes, I really do struggle with them for projects and getting dev-shells. So I use flakes for the system but use a classic shell.nix for my shells

Oh that's an approach I haven't even considered, I es always very ... Black and white :D

Thanks for the inspiration, should I find a bucket of time in the future I'll give it a shot!
