If you use only "M-x > guix", you miss most of Emacs-Guix features. Good to know!

My main usage of M-x guix seems to be M-x guix e(dit to find package definitions or see if a package already exists which is often quicker than looking at the often overwhelming 'guix package --search' output. > it to "M-x guix-command", and to make "M-x guix" a real entry point for > the various Emacs-Guix commands (including "guix-command" and all the > interfaces). Sounds good! Maxim
