What I'd like to see done in Emacs
I don't use icomplete nor vertico most of the time, but I am very familiar with them. I've tried lots of completion UIs: default completion, ido (with ido-completing-read to get it everywhere), icomplete, vertico, selectrum, helm, ivy; and I've written several myself: icomplete-vertical, live-completions, grille, embark-collections-completions.

New package: Vcomplete - visual enhancements to the default completion interface
I too am guilty of once writing a package that updates the *Completions* buffer as you type: live-completions. My package didn't have a way to move the "currently selected" completion from the minibuffer (because I didn't mind switching to the completions buffer for that). Recently u/protesilaos also wrote his own version, in prot-minibuffer.el. I'm sure there are many other examples.
