Am I out of touch?

No, it's the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

I bet NixOS will be kinda cool once they get a proper wiki in like 10 years or so

They have two. If the complaint is that neither wiki is as rich as the Gentoo or Arch wiki, consider that perhaps NixOS users don't need as much supplementary advice for configuring their systems.

Every tutorial should be crafted for some hypothetical user stupider than their current stupidest user.

By induction, that will only make your user base stupider.

Wiki and official social platform to share configurations and flakes ect! But my god the documentation.....
