In Kubuntu we've had requests to ship fcitx as well.  We've had feedback that 
it works better, but it currently supports a narrower range of languages, so I 
don't think it's suitable as a general Ibus replacement yet.  Of course Kylin 
has a narrow focus, so that's not an issue from their perspective.
