No, I won't say it. ;-)

Superior to what, BTW? Icicles just uses the *Completions* buffer, so it
can't be superior to displaying the *Completions* buffer. Sorry, I don't
understand.

IMO, Emacs (and so Icicles) completion is superior to picking something from
a pull-down list. And in Emacs (and Icicles) you can anyway use the mouse to
make your choice if you want - just like using a pull-down list.

Some pull-down lists also let you use completion, BTW. In my mail client,
for example, hitting C-k completes an address, or you can pick from a
pull-down list of matches. A pull-down list with completion is pretty much
the same as using *Completions* in Emacs (and Icicles).

Sorry, I can't follow. What is powerful? What suggested packages?... What's
the point/question?
