I tried and found it easy to use and nice on Debian.  
On Fedora20 which is my main platform there is no fcitx-mozc.  
I built an own fcitx-mozc rpm, but did fall back to ibus-mozc
after a while.

I should bring that up with colleagues who contribute to ibus.

At RHEL7 and other distros, 'Simple Kana Kanji' (ibus-skk) is 
the default Input Method Engine for Japanese.  The 'Kana Kanji 
engine' (-kkc) is now also around.
