To play devil's advocate (?), I use them all the time at work, I could argue that it makes me more efficient. Easier to react with a thumb emoji and grinning emoji than than saying "thank you very much for that". However if I argue that it's not strictly true, I use them because they're quick yes, but I also thin they're fun too.

Edit - In the (?) I put a goblin and clipboard emoji to represent 'devil's advocate' but it got stripped out, if you were wondering what that was.
