Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • It has saved us so much time with `affected` in CI/CD.
  • NX is nice because graph commands mean you need reasonably decent architecture, which means you can't have circular dependencies, otherwise it breaks.
  • if you’re using pnpm or turbo or nx, the tooling is solid enough now that it’s not a pain.

Cons

  • Nx is super powerful but I'm convinced they made the documentation bad and API bad so you're forced to hire one of the nx consultants to help you with integration
  • Parent context: Has anyone tried a migration away from NX to either Turborepo or Moonrepo? We have a reasonably large monorepo and while NX works and affected is nice, the customer service, enterprise pricing and shoddy docs is making m...
  • Tried to update NX - they removed commands we were using and just said "use these other commands instead" but didn't give any information on how to new commands translate to the old ones, bringing down our entire pipeline for a good while.
  • I've been using NX quite a bit at work and my experience has been overall pretty negative. Caching is tough to get right, it's taken quite a bit of babysitting to keep things working over the years as packages change and evolve, and weir...
  • Used to love Nx, gave intro talks about it. But as of recently, I’ve grown to not enjoy it as much anymore. New nx workspaces don’t just work out of the box, configuration has gotten overly complicated and too many community plugins aren...

Parent context: Has anyone tried a migration away from NX to either Turborepo or Moonrepo? We have a reasonably large monorepo and while NX works and affected is nice, the customer service, enterprise pricing and shoddy docs is making me want to plan a migration for next year.

I've been using NX quite a bit at work and my experience has been overall pretty negative. Caching is tough to get right, it's taken quite a bit of babysitting to keep things working over the years as packages change and evolve, and weird stuff like the nx daemon hanging or the basics like running tasks acting up that makes the whole thing feel a bit like a house of cards.

Used to love Nx, gave intro talks about it. But as of recently, I’ve grown to not enjoy it as much anymore. New nx workspaces don’t just work out of the box, configuration has gotten overly complicated and too many community plugins aren’t as well kept and therefore lock you on a version, preventing even granular updates.

I absolutely hate it. You have basically described the thoughts I’ve had on this for years yet I still use it for monorepos because it’s better than turborepo.

we use nx for monorepo management and the orchestration part of nx is actually fairly nice. BUT. i seem to come to hate every single other part about nx. - the executors are barely documented and - the nx documentation as a whole is one of the worst docs i‘ve ever had to work with

The NX is nice but quite small, and the V6 in the used RX is a better engine.
