This has been my experience, too. Granted, I have used guix longer than Nix.

Another advantage of Guix is just how readable package definitions are. Nix packages often contain embedded shell code + a "functional" DSL. Guix packages are written in a much more declarative style. It kind-of looks like executable JSON (I guess that's the point of lisp, right?).
