Thoughts on flake-parts? (programming.dev)

I've been working on my configuration for a while now using flakes. I can already understand the appeal of flake-parts, and my configuration has always been spread out across multiple files according to specific features. ATM I don't really have any good modules to share, but what's your opinion?

I used to use flake-parts, but I organize my flakes in a very different way (I generate a single, bigass flake.nix out of tiny org files), and found that frameworks like flake-parts and flakelight just get in the way. I suspect they're useful if you're working with Nix directly, but... I don't like Nix (the language), so I do my organization outside of it.
