I dont think thats really the goal here. NixOS is not designed to be used by your grandmother. Better Documentation would sometimes be nice though.
By the way, there already is https://github.com/vlinkz/nixos-conf-editor
Probably not the goal, but a NixOS-based begginer distro could be great, with one app to install all your package and one app to manage all your settings. (I personally really like the idea of having app settings in the “general” settings app). But probably the killer advantage of NixOS is that it’s really hard to break and really easy to fix, which is important for a distro aimed at the general public.
