Can you explain? I don't know how to do that.
The point of the Helm interface is that it allows to "batch select"
multiple packages. I don't think that emacs-guix can do that.
For instance, if I want to install all Emacs packages except, say,
emacs-guix (haha! :p) then I would
- M-x helm-system-packages
- "emacs"
- M-a
- "emacs-guix"
- C-space
- <f2>
In other words, it scales well with big loads of packages.

Yup, it's hard to explain with words and not verbal explanation can
compete with a demo. If you've never used Helm/Ivy before, wait no
further, it's a must (in my humble opinion, of course!).

My pleasure, let me know if you want to know more.
Cheers!
