Sorry to bother with this. But I don't see how what you describe defers
from Company. I mean, what is missing in company or what is different
from your desired behavior?
Didn't yourself say that Company is not for completion in the
minibuffer? Whereas we are discussing minibuffer completion?
I agree that company needs some work, maybe check the bindings and the
default colors.
If Company can be used for minibuffer completion, then there's no
problem.
icomplete is the best we have embedded.
Maybe our best is not good enough in this case? In which case, if we
want to offer newcomers an experience that they expect, we need to
implement something which we don't yet have.
