Yes, unfortunately, emacs does come with ido - personally, I don't!
Tried it and found it got in the way as often as it was helpful. Tweaked
and forced myself to use it for two months and then turned it off - best
thing I ever did.
Personally, don't use speedbar either, but some like it and from the OPs
request, is different enough to dired and find-file such that it may
actually be of interest to them.
