What is against the Unix philosophy?
I don't think GUIs are against anything. This GUI I've worked on a
merely an interface, it does nothing but use the Guix API.
It makes searching and install/uninstall and generation delete
operations very convenient. Everything is much easier when you have an
interactive minibuffer with live fuzzy search ;)
Cheers!
