I've found the Nix ecosystem to be lacking, missing packages, wrongly built packages (from the official upstream), and out of date versions. Homebrew still outclasses Nix in this regard (quality over quantity).
After taking Nix for a spin, I cannot be bothered to learn another custom tool with a bespoke language when I already have containers for doing the same things.
For Dagger, I can choose from a number of languages I already know and the Docker concepts map over nearly 1-1
