I've been working on my configuration for a while now using flakes. I can already understand the appeal of flake-parts, and my configuration has always been spread out across multiple files according to specific features. ATM I don't really have any good modules to share, but what's your opinion?

I really like it for devshells which is really all I use Nix for. Flake-parts automates so much boilerplate and improves the error messages so much compared to standard flakes. Definitely worth the time investment imo
