"New Blazing Fast WebGL Engine". Wow really? Major changes - "Emoji support". For fucks sake, seriously?

Am I the only one that doesn't want anything of the following _bull shit_?

* A terminal emulator that is dependent on an entire web browser (not to mention the layers upon layers of bullshit abstractions all to run something from the 70s).

* Support for "emojis" (I mean, come on. It's a _damn terminal_).

* To execute code that can hijack control of my shell from any of the 956 dependencies[1] this _heap of shit_ relies on.

[1] $ git clone https://github.com/zeit/hyper.git $ cd hyper $ npm install $ ls -lt | wc -l 956

Like it or not: in the era of Unicode, emoji's are plaintext.
