Am I the only one who actually dislikes the recent trend of putting emojis everywhere in CLI tools? I am ok with red and yellow text for errors and warning, and I can stand green for success (though I find it useless), but emoji's are just distracting.

I'm sorry, I really like it. When used in titles & subtitles, I find it makes it a lot more pleasant to read for me.

I’m not sure why you got downvoted for this. Is HN turning into reddit where downvote means “I have a different opinion”?

Without activist moderation, that would appear to be the default outcome. Most humans seem to have an urge to stamp on dissonant opinions. Unfortunately.
