I'm in total agreement regarding Emoji support. I think it was a mistake to ship it with core, but I could be proven wrong on that with usage. It's coded nicely but I have no idea why it isn't just a plugin and it annoys me that I have to install a plugin (thank you Ryan Hellyer) to disable it. At the same time if there is no room for mistakes or experimentation it would stifle development also.
