I was interested in trying NixOS before after many years of Linux experience but I couldn't understand what advantages it had over my current setup. It just mostly seemed more complicated than it needed to be for little to no gain.
The reproducibility aspect of it can be achieved on other Linux platforms or in other environments so it wasn't a big draw for me. I already have backups too. Making it easily deployable seems like the same use case as for instance, docker, which is available everywhere already.
I love projects like this though so I fully support it!
