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.
