That's still not very relevant: those who like ido can (and should) use ido.

Seems to do more than iswitchb: it also change C-x C-f.

Actually, that's a point *against* icomplete-mode, when taken as
a replacement for iswitchb.
I think I'm beginning to understand the emotional response, tho: people
seem to think that putting icomplete-mode in the obsolete data is a kind
of *recommendation*, which is not the intention.
I'll just add ido-mode in there as well, which I hope will stop the
religious hysteria.
