Nest.js is a great framework, with excellent documentation, but it can be quite heavy weight (from a coding and concepts perspective) and alienating to JavaScript devs without a background in C#/Java.
Its basically Spring/.Net MVC implemented in TypeScript. That makes it a great choice for .Net/Java developers who are transitioning to coding for Node.js, but for anyone without that background, it comes with a steep learning curve (Dependency Injection, Inversion Of Control, Aspect Oriented Programming... all the usual suspects of "enterprise" application development).
I'd say its positioned to become very popular (and you can see its trending strongly upwards on npmtrends.com) because so many enterprises are transitioning towards Node.js. Its like a cozy blanket for ex .Net/Java developers.
I always find it amusing that that Nest.js is a back-end framework, that was inspired by a front-end framework, which was inspired by a back-end framework. (Nest.js -> Angular -> Spring MVC). :-)
