I'm really interested in `home-manager` honestly, and while I agree about the benefits of declarative package management, I find it easier to type commands at a terminal like `nix profile upgrade pkg` or `nix registry pin nixpkgs`, with the guarantee of rollbacks.
Since when I'm editing a text file to update a package, I have to look for the latest version separately and copy/paste it into my editor. If I somehow mess it up the file is broken, while no harm is done I still find this workflow a bit brittle.
If there are home-manager commands I missed to do this, I'd be eager to give it a try. That kind of workflow would remind me of running `npm upgrade pkg` and have it reflected on a `package.json` file.
