I do the same, and I never want to work on a project without it. No more incompatible versions between project-A needs foo-1.x and project-B needs foo-2.x. And in addition to using `shell.nix` + `nix-shell` I add `direnv` which automatically applies the shell environments to the current shell when `cd`ing into a directory with a `shell.nix` (or some subdirectory.)
