The main reason is scim for Chinese is almost unmaintained. I don't
have enough knowledge about Korean and Japanese status in scim.
Nowdays, almost all major distributions have switched to ibus, it
supports more input method and works better than scim under GNOME/KDE.
There are some better discussions，

Fcitx and uim is just another good choice for Chinese and Japanese.
