I switched from IBUS to FCITX for this reason and a few others. ibus
development is slowing down significantly when FCITX is pacing up -
development activity usually predicts future bug number and fix-speed.
It seems we are back to the old days of 200x when each region (China,
Taiwan, Japan etc) prompts their own input platform intead of their own
input methods, and that the hope of a high quality input platform for
all input methods is fading away.

FCITX was notorious for its strong personality of insisting on using
Simplified Chinese and China Mainland government's encoding instead of
UTF-8 for configuration files, repelling non-Chinese users. They changed
to English configuration files now, but I don't think they became
international and design for other language users - the user interface
has toleratable English. Normally I prefer International project over
local (culture-speaking) software but in this case fcitx development is
much more active.
