    There are some technical objections to the design of flakes, but the controversy in the community is primarily social imo.

    The reading I'd recommend as someone sympathetic to both 'sides' isn't really a technical comparison, but this: https://grahamc.com/blog/flakes-are-an-obviously-good-thing

    As far as technical pros and cons, it's worth looking at colemickens' PoC demonstrating that in principle, you can use Nix to generate literally identical output with and without flakes: https://github.com/colemickens/nixos-flake-example
