IMO using win32 IME on Linux is necessary for some people. In fact even most Chinese users don't know how many Chinese IMEs there exist, some of them have no alternative at all. Also, some handwriting input method editors and some speech-to-text input method editors have no alternative on Linux. Another reason to implement win32 IME bridge is, some win32 IME, such as sogou pinyin, google pinyin, are much better than there alternative on Linux ( ibus-pinyin, sunpinyin), maybe it is hard to understanded by non Chinese users...
I'm sure that's all true, but why would making Win32 input methods run through Wine be a better (or even easier) solution than improving the Linux/X11 input methods?
