How is Shepherd? (lemm.ee)

I am thinking about moving to Guix, and was wondering what you all think of Shepherd?

What are things you like? What are its shortcomings? Any cool or weird things you wish you knew before using it?

For context, I am currently using Runnit.

I miss systemctl poweroff (haven't learned the new herd equivalent); also, herd --help doesn't really give any useful information and only lists a few things you can do... Have to really dig into the documentation (someday). Also, the shutdown syntax has changed... Otherwise, most stuff has gone well
