I love the concepts behind NixOS as well as Guix. I've tinkered with both, and Nix has served the daily driver role for multiple computers of mine.
One advantage this has over Nix is a simpler build toolchain. For some, that advantage may be quite useful. Even more so for the sh-based configuration management tool, rest[0], submitted several days ago.
While Guix is similar to Nix in it's higher amount of build dependencies, in theory, Guix's bootstrapping is at least elegant in comparison.
