I never have understood the push to emojify everything. But commit messages, options in menus, status outputs, you name it: I think we'd be better off leaving it in plain ASCII (or Unicode if your language needs that, just as long as you don't dip into the emoji).

Emoji are quite nice for messaging people and occasionally some of the more generic ones can be useful for status indicators (think the red and green circles), but I don't want to be presented with a little green worm every time somebody submits a bug fix on GitHub.
