Agreed. FWIW, when I am trying to find an emacs-guix command I type 'M-x
guix-' and search the completions. But sometimes I forget the '-' and
when this pops up I am like ... UGH ;-(

I wanted to use and like the "M-x Guix" pop-up, I really did. I figured
the Guix CLI needed all the help it could get ;-) I tried several times
to learn this, but I just couldn't get the hang of it. I also tried it
in magit and it didn't work for me there.  This makes me wonder: a) Am I
am a dope? b) Do people really use this?

That's a great idea.

If "M-x guix" is not widely used you might consider deleting it
altogether.
