GNU Emacs specifically deprecated IswitchB in favor of Icomplete mode.
Perhaps they were wrong to do so?

Icomplete mode is supposed to be as featureful as IswitchB.  If you
find that this is not the case, please consider filing a bug report
or enhancement request.  Use `M-x report-emacs-bug' to do either.

Also: You can still find IswitchB here: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/emacs/emacs/lisp/iswitchb.el
The fact that it is no longer distributed with Emacs does not mean
that you can't still use it.
