Any home-manager users on NixOS here? Are there any killer features in home-manager for you? I tried home-manager for a bit, but just went back to plain NixOS after I couldn't find anything it did better than what I was already using ([1], [2]).

Easy integration between the two. I pass config from the system config to home config for some things and it’s quite seamless. Also one command to apply config for system and home is nice.

I use NixOS and do not use home-manager. I have synchthing managed by NixOS and it syncs all of my config and files between all my machines.

Btw, am I the only person annoyed at calling configuration files dotfiles? Not all hidden files/folders are configuration, and not all configuration files are hidden.
