As said, I don't code. And unified experience I care for GNOME, that it
works consistently. I care about freedesktop.org standards. I don't care
for differences between distributions. E.g. MCC is great, but I prefer
if it didn't exist. MCC is only Mageia/Mandriva, another distro has
other things, etc.
I prefer something in gnome-control-center.

iBus losing words sounds like something fixable. Fairly strange that it
does that though.
And that most developers don't know much about CJK, agreed. That's why
it is important to figure it out. I even have less of a grasp, as not a
coder/developer.

</I>
GNOME is not about being able to change loads of things since
development of 2.0 began. You say you need the freedom to ensure the
input method does what you want.
So why not ensure the default input method does what you want?
I get the impression that each time a new input method is abandoned,
some new project is started, gets abandoned again, etc. Resulting in a
wish for the ability to always being able to change the input method.

</I>
Of course there are developers involved in other input methods. But
not doing something because they might get offended.. this is not really
how a decision would be taken. Focus is on what gives a nice experience.
