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 ...).
That doesn't matter as long as it is an UTF-8 locale (de_DE.UTF-8, de_CH.UTF-8, en_US.UTF-8, en_GB.UTF-8, ...). SCIM via XIM works in *all* UTF-8 locales.
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.
