Yes, I used emacs.

The problem is that not all users use this. I am working in the context 
of grammar development (i.e. linguistic research that tries to develop 
computational grammars for various languages). So users may not be 
speakers of Chinese. Therefore xim might not be installed (and the 
locales are set to German or English ...). But the grammar development 
system uses emacs and if I can use input methods that are shipped with 
emacs, that is a good thing.

But you are right, the scim stuff is better in principle.

Thanks and best wishes
