I think there's just too many unfinished features and issues to also start working on GUI

Indeed perhaps. I'd really like to see something like a Content-addressed Storage model from snix get upstreamed. That could really revolutionize bandwidth requirements for nix package updates and store sizes. Imagine downloading only the binary diffs for updates to packages like large modern browsers, IDEs, election apps, etcs, that mostly share common files across versions and packages. Suddenly, daily driving a rolling distro on the bleeding edge would be no more taxing on networks or disks than your average infrequent Debian update.
