I can't go back to parsers with grammar definitions after using parser combinators; it just feels so unelegant and verbose. I guess Rust doesn't have monadic syntax sugar like more functional languages, so it makes parsers in Nom a bit more ugly than Parsec, but I still prefer it.

Normally I agree, but I found that Pest's grammar definitions double as documentation on the language syntax. Nom is much more ergonomic though.
