there’s one thing that hinders unflake and native implementations alike, though: no one knows what the flakes are. documentation is lacking, and knowledge either spreads by word of mouth or is obtained by reading the source code.

And here we have the reason I don't use flakes. If their own developers don't understand them, what kind of confidence does that give?
