ALL my complaints were made before Sun's developers totally revamped IIIM (i.e., gutted it to the bare bone) for the upcoming OpenSolaris 2008.11 release. It was beyond my, or anybody else's, wildest contemplation that any entity could have the technical prowess to do this in such a short period of time. IIIM can accommodate more languages than probably anything that is currently available, but it is just not the best tool for Chinese speakers, particularly Chinese-speaking developers. The porting of SCIM to Solaris couldn't have come at a better time.
