I just want to add that there is nothing icomplete-specific in either orderless or embark. Indeed, they can both be used with the default minibuffer completion or even with 3rd party completion UIs such as Selectrum.

For the sake of completeness, Omar Antolín Camarena already develops
packages that extend Icomplete in ways that make it more Ivy-like.

* 'orderless' pattern matching :: Completion style that offers
  out-of-order matches, while also supporting multiple methods (regexp,
  flex, string, initials).[0]

* 'embark' contextual custom actions :: Minibuffer commands that act on
  the current candidate or the entire list of candidates.  These are
  implemented as keymaps.[1]
