This is looking good, can you tell me more about the eslint part?

are these settings about Nix?

Good that you asked! I had some problems with ESLint. I was getting import errors that I couldn’t really interpret at first. I initially thought it was a Nix issue. But it turned out the problem was actually in the .eslintrc file, which I also fixed in the same commit. I checked again now and noticed that most of them are just default settings, so I’ll remove those changes.
Sorry for the confusion — my mistake!

this is a good example of the type of issue I am worried might arise and I'd need to support ;)

Yeah, I think I get what you mean. I have to admit, the setup is quite complex and can be a bit error-prone when it comes to special cases.
I honestly didn’t expect that I’d ever be able to run your setup with the VS Code extension for debugging. That’s quite a unique setup, but it actually works — and I think that’s pretty impressive!
So maybe that’s a good argument in favor of Nix ;).
replaced xvfb with xvfb-run
