I am currently using iBus as input method (I am learning Japanese and Korean) which is default in Ubuntu but I don't like it very much (not sure why though).
I know there are other IMs like SCIM or uim but I couldn't find any comparisons.
I read that SCIM was replaced by iBus because it was buggy and didn't have support for gtk3 so I probably won't use this one but what are differences between various IMs and why is iBus preferred?

My experience will answer your question partially. I could get my wishes only working with SCIM, even though it’s largely unmaintained. iBus couldn’t do it. I need IME for Chinese:
