This rubs me the wrong way. They acknowledge that alternative tools exist, but willfully use the wrong-er statement in pursuit of a vacuous marketing idiom.
To be fair, Guix was originally a Nix fork, so dismissing it was "just" a Nix fork doesn't seem that out there. I believe at this point all original Nix code has been replaced and Guix has completely diverged and is also awesome software, but I can see why someone would be inclined to say something like that if they were missing the full picture.
It wasn't really a "fork" though, was it? Rather a from-scratch re-implementation of the Nix/NixOS concepts using Guile Scheme in place of the Nix config language.
> It uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, but packages are defined as native Guile modules, using extensions to the Scheme language—which makes it nicely hackable.
