I don't think you're genuinely confused.

Are you really in this thread to talk about dotfile managers, or are you here to criticize Nix, given that Nix directly competes with your company's only product?

Considering nothing in that reply criticized nix you’re certainly wrong. I don’t hesitate to share my opinions on nix anytime (just like nix users themselves) so I’d have no reason to be coy about my criticism.

tfrancisl was polite (even though I arguably wasn’t in the beginning) so I felt it important to return the favor.
