    Oh, that’s easy – that’s utter bullshit. Article is generous, this is a blog post.

        Because I’m pretty active in the Nix community and have never seen a single anti-flakes comment anywhere. Plenty of people advocating for flakes, and those who don’t use or understand flakes. But never anyone who actively dislikes them.

          OK, I see where you’re coming from. You’re interpreting “anti” as “dislike”. Have you considered interpreting it as those who don’t use and don’t want to use flakes?

          Just because there is disagreement, doesn’t mean that it has to be tied to negative emotions like hate or dislike.

            Well no, because that’s not what “anti” means.

            And one can absolutely use NixOS without using flakes, whether they’re marked experimental or not. They’re simply a way to make inputs declarative, rather than the nix-channel method which is imperative.

            So there’s no “disagreement” here either.
