If you’re cannot parse the configuration file, you don’t update. It is perfectly, 100% stable, about 60% of the time (when I change my config file without an error).
nixOS appeals to niche audiences who like to brag about it. I think it is not a good idea to base everything on config files, since there is a lot of room for user error
Ha. You want STABLE, use NixOS.

Not to mention it is a utter pain in the ass.
With that being said, if just the package manager was a config file and there was a reasonable CLI then I could get on board.
The config files literally won’t compile if there is an incompatibility or error in the code.
Also, every distro has an audience who love to brag about it. The worst part of being a Nix user is I can no longer say “Arch BTW”.
Oh you don’t use arch? Don’t worry bud you’ll get there some day.
