That looks really nice. I'm sure it's a great solution for lots of developers.
I think I'm going to stick with nix. VM's, docker, orbstack and nix all seem to let me make a machine that looks like "X". The thing is, docker and VM's provide an abstraction that works 95% of the time, but that last 5% is awful (I don't know about orbstack).
Nix, by all appearances (and my limited experience) is much much worse up front. there's a lot to learn. But in exchange I get to keep control. This abstraction is wrong, we're not doing that, we're doing this. I'm not asking, I'm telling.
