Ibus is essential for complicated-to-input-multi-keystroke languages, like
Chinese and such. If you don't know what it is, most probably you don't need
it. OTOH, I am not sure how much system resources it uses when idle, so if it
doesn't have a big memory footprint, you can leave it be.
Its very useful to type scripts which are not based on the latin
alphabet, e.g. Devanagari, Bengali, Chinese, Japanese and many others.
