In my view, that's GNU Guix's greatest selling point: Once someone
embraces Guile, they have all the tools they'll need. It simplifies the
communications among contributors and makes it easier to collaborate.

Maybe one day the crowds will see the light and shower us with their
attention!

Of course, many folks have also felt that way about Emacs and Lisp for
fifty years. They are still waiting, too...

Kind regards
Felix

and also "roll-back", although it is more important for keeping a
bootable system.

I would say "free software only" and "quality" (I am still traumatised
by Nix "packaging" texlive through wrapping binary Debian packages).
Plus what you mention about the unified programming language throughout.
