Company mode has three components:
1) A framework for tying backends (who gives comletion candidates)
with frontends (who present the choices to the user).
2) A front end which presents the choices.
3) Some backends, for example the semantic backend.
CompletionUI is similar in structure.

Yes, but notice that it is semantic that gives the completion
candidates, not company-mode.

I think both company-mode and completionUI are attempt to give more
structure to this, see 1 and 2 above. I hope a mix of them can make
its way into Emacs.
