Comment on Site Update: The New deviantART Comments by ikazon

IMO it might be a few steps for ward and a step back. I liked the ability to choose a emote that would be sort of the tone of your comment, having the little smiley displayed on the top right corner of the comment. Sure you can now quickly insert smileys and flair to your comments but there is still the problem with finding the emote you're looking for, unlike the old system where you could categorize it (i.e. 'Wow! > Astonishment > Bemused' is my favorite to use).
