I don’t mind color, but pushing beyond the 16 colors is often a stretch without a very specific use case & bound to lead to a lack of legibility for some unless both foreground & background are defined—which has a tendency to look just as bad in a terminal. Similar issues happen with CSS when folks define color but not background color. But the one CLI trend that annoys me is using Emoji terminal. I often find their colors and shapes to be too distracting, commanding too much of the visual hierarchy of output. They also have a tendency to kind of fall apart when some characters or combinations of characters are missing or they no longer line up with the monospace output. A big part of CLI output is being able to scroll through the logged output, but the Emoji actually make visual scanning more difficult.
