One thing I really dislike is the aesthetics of the Apple emoji. One could say "then don't use it", but so many sites and apps are shipping an entire emoji set.

One thing I really dislike is the aesthetics of the Apple emoji. One could say "then don't use it", but so many sites and apps are shipping an entire emoji set. With the exception of Facebook and Twitter who have made their own brand of emoji, a lot of apps are just shipping Google or Microsoft or Apple's and instead of matching your system, it completely clashes and is a waste of bandwidth. If you're on Linux, it's a total dice roll which their design team should be the 'default'.
