I've been happily running Guix as my primary system for at least a year now. I've had near zero issues with basic daily use (guix pull, guix install xxx, guix package -u, etc.) I'm extremely happy to simply install and uninstall software.
For me, the "free software absolutism" is a primary selling point. I don't use Nix because of that.
I've had mixed interactions with the Guix community from welcoming and helpful to arrogant and extremely rude. However, it's a community which is growing and was small for a long time. I see the lack of compassion as problems with individuals rather than the community. Leadership has changed and new organization is taking form. There has been tremendous growth the past year.
The documentation is hit or miss. Either it's great and you find your answer immediately or you find yourself in the weeds, digging through source code, guessing at what something means or guessing if something is Guix or Guile (and good luck with the Guile docs).
