I have chewing installed. That only gives you the Taiwanese input
scheme. Jyut ping was amongst the simple table inputs in SCIM. As far as
I can see only a few of those simple table input methods have been
carried across to ibus.
I do hope ibus becomes the one final input scheme. This endless changing
of input schemes, with more concern about the code than about users
entering characters, has been a huge pain for anyone who uses
Chinese/Japanese/Korean on Linux (and maybe other languages for all I know).
