Every professional programmer needs a desktop OS, and NixOS is really hard to beat. Switching to NixOS is like going from a car that is breaking down all the time to one that's reliable and easy to mod and repair. I don't recommend it to family members, but I do recommend it to programmers that care about their tools.
Of course there's many more Linux servers out there than there are programmers, but the OS the programmer uses to develop on is just as important as the OS they deploy to.
