Well "WE" isn't the rest of us and if YOU don't see any benefit of the Emoji then simply ignore the article. I mean, it's just an article. Not everybody is having the same issues so I couldn't care less for some of the things some people here wish Apple would do, but they need to voice their opinion elsewhere that counts such as directly to Apple because this isn't the place.
I get so sick of coming here daily and seeing something that might be an interesting article only for it to be bombarded with rude and nasty comments ruining the entire thread. Once again, if something is not of interest to you or someone else they should ignore the article because bitching here only throws it in other member's faces and not Apple's.
If you are trying to get people to change, you are fighting a losing battle.
Commenting with ones opinion here whether a subject is about something that s used by a consumer is just that : an opinion, comment, gripe etc.
Many comments make me shake my head, but I am sure people do that about mine.
Over time I now mostly read the articles. May be that would work for you too.
