> I like that it doesn't hide nix

Yep. That's my main argument for it against devbox.

> Does it have any kind of simpler syntax for overlays?

Yes, it does. But what helps isn't that, but the concise docs with just the information I need to know to get up and running quickly: https://devenv.sh/getting-started/

I've read multiple docs/books on Nix, but I always find myself lost when I need to accomplish anything simple. With devenv, I can spot most of my answers from the docs menu. They are all a single click distant from me.
