As a package manager I don’t see why not? guix install foo and if it doesn’t work you can still flatpak it. As a distro, yeah largely agree, although I’m no power-user and know embarassingly little about guix but use it as a daily driver.
Yeah for you and me, sure. But I don’t think any command line package managers are good for Joe Public either. My mum isn’t installing software from a command line, but she’s fine to download Netflix onto her phone from an app store. Flatpak integrates nicely into a lot of os software centres in a way I’ve not seen from Guix (though I could be wrong, I’ve not looked much).
I prefer guix packages. Solves the same problem, but without data duplication.
Guix is extremely good but I’m not sure if it’s ready for general users yet in the way flatpak is.
