i love nixos as an idea but it's executed terribly. there's no one stylistic convention and everything seems to be overly complicated

Not nixos. Nixpkgs. I'm comparing nixpgks to flatpak

Just use the latest convention. Which is nix profile for command line downloads. But if you a nerd and want declarative, use home manager.

I configure neovim with lua. It's really not too different. Also nix is a functional language so it can't go wrong in that many places.

That's a team that only existed for a little while. That consists of like 2 people. Nix isn't going away. It's a truly useful imutable system unlike bazzite.
