Thanks for the summary of the discussion so far, but this last statement
might bring some confusion... Yasnippet can curiously fit into many
parts of the problem:
* It can be a source to completion frameworks, auto-complete and company
have such sources.
* It prompts the user when it finds more than one snippet for an abbrev,
and uses its own `yas-prompt-functions' abstraction. Some of the
functions offer completion.
* It installs a keybinding for TAB which is problematic because it is
very sought-after binding for completion-related stuff. The parts of
this discussion that concerned yasnippet dealed with this, AFAIK.

Yep. For me personally it would make sense to evaluate alternatives
based a matrix like the one proposed by Stefan earlier:
