The web browser is the primary operating environment for a lot of
people. Just as Emacs users built web browsers, terminal emulators, and
mail clients on the Emacs platform, the web platform also has all those
things (including various elaborate in-browser code editors.) So I
understand this as having the exact same genesis as the Guix interface
in Emacs: people would like to manage their operating system using the
interface they spend most of their time in, and for Nyxt power users
that would be their browser. I'm not at all interested in managing my
Guix packages using Nyxt, which is highly correlated to my not being a
Nyxt power user.
