Hey Roland, can you tell which package manager GUI do you like best?

I'm addicted to command line interface because
- want to do nix-instantiate, nixos-rebuild, nix-build and nix-shell.
Nix-env -i is the rarest of my tools
- it works even If X is unavailable (remote, broken X)
That's also a reason why I hardly will use GUI variant.

But I agree that some graphical Nix Explorer would be better than nix-store
--query and nix-env --query.
