I don't find it user-friendly at all to be forced to enter things
in a particular order and to type RET three times to confirm each
part of the command spearately.
Most of the time, the defaults are right, so I only need to do
C-u M-x grep RET RET which turns into C-u C-c g RET with the
appropriate binding.
But obviously this is a matter of taste.

If there was no such menu, the minibuffer would say "M-g " after a little
while, which is why I figured it might be good to keep the "M-g" prefix
somewhere. But admittedly, the menu probably makes it clear enough
"where" one is.
