Please don't remove the separate minibuffer feature. I find it quite handy.
If you have very long pathnames, and wan't to see the whole path, you just
resize the minibuffer instead of the whole window.

I've also got used to having the minibuffer at the top of my screen. My eyes
automatically go there whenever I do something minibufferish. Switching
to the old emacs style has become a real pain (when epoch isn't available,
i.e no X).  I find myself looking all over for the minibuffer until I
realize where it is :-).
