Not really. Nix is not a tool, it's a toolkit for making your own tools. Very much in the vein of Unix, shell, etc.

Many people don't use Nix for "installing" stuff. I personally use it for deploying software to servers without the (congnitive and performance) overhead of containers.

I find search.nixos.org immensely useful, but don't really need it from the CLI.
