Do you really think it is better to ask users to set five options in their init file (icomplete-separator, icomplete-hide-common-prefix, icomplete-prospects-height, icomplete-minibuffer-setup-hook and icomplete-completions-filter-hook) instead of providing them right away with what they want with (icomplete-vertical-mode 1)?
