hot take: the "tiny"/"clean" software trend is overrated
I'm not with suckless. But plain Xlib supports input methods & the api is much nicer than gtk, etc.

I had the misfortune of using it and I do not agree; that said, I don't think you can e.g. perform input in i3-input using uim
-
uim at least had a bridge for xim; not sure if it's still maintained.
-
well the end result is that doing what actual people need makes software "bloated" most of the time and we can't have that can we?
-
there's a time and a place for minimalism, and it ends somewhere before telling others how their culture should work
-
As as Hebrew speaker, plain Xlib makes RTL languages unusable. But hey! You don't have to load GTK which is already in memory anyway!
-
You can't render text with Xlib/X fonts. Have to do it client-side and send image/pixmap. This is true for most non-Euro langs not just RTL.
