I found this article really difficult to read because of all the inline emojis, maybe I'm just getting old? :-(

The problems you found with the editor (no search?!) tell me that OIDEs still aren't ready for me. That said I'm a fairly atypical user. I probably touch my mouse 10 times a day total.

It was distracting at first, but I was glad the were less frequent down further. They didn't add much to the article except noise.

Mods: This title makes no sense. This project is not called "Amour". This is simply the french word for "Love". The title is "Makers + Glitch = Love".

Thanks, we've replaced “Amour” with “Plop”. I'm afraid little sense can be made of any algebraic combination of Makers, Glitch, Love, Amour, and Plop, so we'll leave the rest of the title as-is.

It's not just you; I think the overuse of emojis, memes, and gifs is out of control on Medium.
