 * Child frames and Popups
 
 An often requested feature is the ability to display the completions in a child
-frame popup. I do not recommend this, since from my experience it introduces
-more problems than it solves. Child frames can feel slow and sometimes flicker.
-On the other hand the completion display appears right in your focus at the

+frame popup. Personally I am critical of using child frames for minibuffer
+completion. From my experience it introduces more problems than it solves. Most
+importantly child frames hide the content of the underlying buffer. Furthermore
+child frames can feel slow and sometimes flicker. A better alternative is the
+~vertico-buffer~ display which can even be configured individually per command
+using ~vertico-multiform~. On the plus side of child frames, the completion
+display appears at the center of the screen, where your eyes are focused. 
Please
+give the following packages a try and judge for yourself.
 
 - [[https://github.com/muffinmad/emacs-mini-frame][mini-frame]]: Display the 
entire minibuffer in a child frame.
 - [[https://github.com/minad/mini-popup][mini-popup]]: Slightly simpler 
alternative to mini-frame.
