Yeah, you can do a lot with it. One of the (unstated) ideas behind uni is that it can work as a backend for a lot of different integrations: dmenu, Vim, fzf, Emacs, a more domain-specific emoji picker GUI, etc.

Other than this, the feature set is roughly similar. The biggest difference is that uni knows how to deal with emoji sequences.
