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.

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

It's a pretty funny title because the startup the founders of Slack were working on before Slack was a failed online game called Glitch (https://www.glitchthegame.com) :).

I'm still not convinced by online code editors but this looks promising, you do raise valid points of improvement though.

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.
