How do you feel about command-line tools using emojis?

I'm undecided. Not immediately against, but not immediately for either.

For example:

$ pipx install hatch
installed package hatch 1.9.4, installed using Python 3.11.2
These apps are now globally available

  • hatch
    done! ✨ 🌟 ✨

@jani when it's purely adding to and not replacing text, it's fine by me and can be quite beneficial when done well (eg. to quickly recognize the emoji instead of having to read the text label to find the line with a specific issue), but I strongly dislike when it replaces the text and you lose the information when the emoji is not displayed properly or when going through tools like grep
