Emojis: Love them or hate them?

I find them 65% useful, 35% anxiety inducing.

Now that the keyboard has really expanded, it helps me to make sure that I am conveying the tone I want to convey over text. Of course, emojis that may make sense to me might not make sense to someone else. I think I'm actually pretty bad at reading emojis' intentions so I wonder if others read mine as intended.
