I'm fairly new to Line, but with anime/manga lovers bias aside, I find those stamps feature very useful. It's not necessary the way to augment conversations but it helps to respond to subject that I don't have insight or prefer not to respond in details; I think it lowers a bar on burden to prevent awkward silence. As for the software, my 91 years old grandfather in Japan just got iPhone as his first smartphone ever. He also signed up to Line as well so he can communicate with rest of relatives (including myself) who happened to be three different all over the US. I am impressed that he is learning it quick. I think the part of it is the fact it's not as intimidating as other solutions.
