Distrobox on NixOS

Is anybody using distrobox on NixOS to develop and run software? What are your thoughts on using it?

I feel like it's a huge time saver and makes the use of NixOS easier for beginners. Instead of spending an afternoon or a few days trying to compile or run something using nix, you can spin up a box and seamlessly do your development there. This makes prototyping and testing things out way easier before investing a bunch of time trying to nixify it.
