Agreed. The venn diagram of people that can afford the pro and those that care about emojis is likely rather slim.
However, watching the photoshop demo I could see the value. Honestly though, I think an add on accessory the size of a trackpad would be better. Unfortunately, that would sell in numbers so small that software support would be non-existent. So, this is a compromise solution that doesn't have Apple's usual boldness to it, rather a lacklustre add on that will deliver lacklustre results (to both sales and usefulness).
- jakebasile 10y agoI don't know, I see emoji infiltrating my tools more and more. For example, I had to submit a PR to Yarn [1] to add a flag to disable the terrible things. GitHub uses emoji to indicate the type of commit [2]. I hate it. Edit: I mean GitHub the company, not the product. Atom is maintained by GitHub. [1]: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/pull/922 https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/pull/922 [2]: https://github.com/atom/atom/commits/master https://github.com/atom/atom/commits/master
- cygned 10y agoAre the emojis ([2]) actually from GitHub? I have never seen them in my repos.
- Matachines 10y agoThat's not GitHub but the Atom maintainers' commit style.
- jakebasile 10y agoI realize my phrasing was ambiguous, I meant GitHub as an organization, who maintain Atom, use Emoji in that project.
- majewsky 10y agoIt's nice how these emoji in [2] do not offer any advantage at all. In fact, they're worse than the appropriate words ("bump", "fix") because I can't Ctrl-F for them.
- jakebasile 10y agoI really do not understand the attraction to it. It makes things harder to read and understand. It can destroy terminal formatting. They're harder to type on physical keyboards. I don't often use emoji unironically in my personal life, but in computing tools it should be anathema.

- Kequc 10y agoThat's going to be awesome when they release that 4 years from now.
