I haven't used Nix but I do use Guix extensively. I love the system philosophy of both distros. Rollbacks have saved a lot of time when something went wrong (when I was already reaching for my USB rescue stick to chroot into the OS but then remembered that I could just boot the previous config from the GRUB menu!). Having the system config in a file is awesome and one ups third party configuration management tools that I have been using for years. Those tools like Puppet and Salt don't have the base OS config, so you're kind of only halfway there and you're not rolling back mistakes, you're applying new code to fix it. As I've gotten into some Guix development lately, I've come to better understand the inspiration that Guix has taken from Nix and still does (and perhaps vice versa). I wish the Nix project the best in working through its issues (real or perceived) because I think a healthy Nix is healthy for both projects.
