As a learner myself over the past year, I also strongly prefer the flake workflow— the tooling design makes more sense, there's no implicit magic about where your inputs are coming from, and everything is pure by default. Not to mention the absolute delight that is the `--override-input` flag— being able to layer your project into multiple flakes and then trivially rebuild it with just one part overridden from a modified local source, so great.

But yeah, it's super frustrating that it's all still hidden behind experimental flags and the official documentation continues to suggest non-flake workflows, though. It's ready for primetime— commit to it please!
