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.

Just showing off how nice lisp can look in prism-mode. Check reply for the config :)
Heh, seriously, though, it's not necessary to use a rainbow of colors. You can use any number of colors and rotate through them. For example, this uses just 3 colors, gradually desaturating them as the depth increases. Since each color is easily distinguished from the other 2, it makes code very readable: https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el/raw/master/images/parens-0.5.png

How do I build a syntax highlighter based on S-Expressions?
If you can use tree-sitter, that's obviously a good choice. Alternatively, you can see how I implemented https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el, which isn't regexp-based, using Emacs's built-in syntax parsing instead.

Trying to find a package that colorizes file contents by indentation level.
I did some experimenting with supporting XML directly in https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el/issues/16. It seems that it's not easily done with existing Emacs SGML-related functions, but I'm guessing that tree-sitter will help a lot in Emacs 29.

How to combine highlight-parenthesis with rainbow-delimiters?
It's not exactly what you asked for, but you may also find this useful: https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el It can highlight parens distinctly too.

Change text appearance in buffer
As examples, I can recommend code in https://github.com/alphapapa/highlight-function-calls (simple) and https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el (more complex).

There is also the package prism.el.

How to properly font-lock for a custom major-mode aka how to use complex regex?
The best advice I can offer is to carefully and repeatedly study the Elisp manual section on font-lock, and to model on the source code of a similar project. The most I've done with it is in https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el
