I think this would be a great addition to Guix.
I agree that for now Guix' learning curve is pretty steep. Even when
coming from rather barebone / Do-It-Yourself distributions like Gentoo /
Arch.
I'm not quite sure yet how to improve the experience to new users. I'd
need to install it several times, with other people and for different
scenarios before I can be a better judge.
I know some work is being done to add an installation helper program to
the install image.

Note that Guix also bundles Zile which is a tad better in my opinion.
Emacs would be Awesome but that would make the live image much heavier.
