I haven=E2=80=99t yet understood why people are moving to fcitx. I have trie=
d it myself after it was automatically installed on my openSUSE machine to r=
eplace iBus and found it completely unusable. I didn=E2=80=99t even manage t=
o get any input languages added.

I am using iBus for writing Japanese and I consider it the superior and simp=
ler-to-use solution.

Is there anything that fcitx is supposed to do better than iBus?
