I do the same, and I never want to work on a project without it. No more
incompatible versions between project-A needs foo-1.x and project-B
needs foo-2.x. 

And in addition to using `shell.nix` + `nix-shell` I add `direnv` which
automatically applies the shell environments to the current shell when
`cd`ing into a directory with a `shell.nix` (or some subdirectory.)
