You can use either Devanagari or romanisation as input and get Devanagari output.
For some examples, see my blog posts - http://cikitsa.blogspot.com/2010/07/xelatex-for-sanskrit.html and - http://cikitsa.blogspot.com/2010/09/xelatex-velthuis-encoding-and-palatal.html About Ibus keboards, there are no graphical pop-up images, which is a pity, it's true. But the configuration files, at least for m17n, are completely transparent and easy to read, and editable too. So one can do a printout of the file and have it beside one until it's learned. Being able to tweak these keymaps easily is a great advantage.
