I'm giving both a try. Nix is more polished, has many more packages, and is better documented. I prefer Guix choice of using a real programming language (Scheme!) instead of a DSL, but I really like Nix anyway. Something that annoys me sometimes is that Nix has a few really bloated packages, compiled with all dependencies on. For example, if I try installing mutt I eventually get python as a dependency. This is a bit ugly. I'm aware it's easy to change this, but I'd still love to get thinner binaries from hydra. Otherwise, a really neat piece of software. Guix tends to be a bit more like Slackware or Arch. Very vanilla things. I would love if Nix went a bit in that direction too with regards to packaging policies. It's more secure and nicer to humble devices, like cheap Chromebooks.
