Thanks for your detailed reply, that was what i was after. I wasn't having a go at Nix or their decision, just wanted to understand the why in the choice. Your two responses have helped explained that.

I agree with Guix, the whole package really appeals to me. I found the same issues between Nix vs Guix, having to do a lot more fiddling to get to where i wanted to be.

Guess next time I will word my statements better :)
