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!
