I don't know why (espacially key-) people in development (Torvalds, now Rossum etc.) seem to have a hard time phrasing their thoughts with a little more consideration. Would it hurt to put it more like "this project is not of interest to me" - what is completely misguided in working on something and trying things? Or to restrain oneself from bashing the effort as being "laughable" and instead try to offer ideas for improvement or presenting the alternatives without discrediting the whole thing. And if he is bored, why not just skip the whole thing?

The point I don't get is why he complains about that gem when he obviously found an alternative that better suited his needs. Why for heaven's sake not just use this but raise an issue. If we all started raising issues for for something beeing "not what I was looking for" github would be bursting at the seams. Is he really moping about the fact that the readme does not provide a full list of ALL emojis and whether they are supported? And why is a emoji gem required to work with "massage" and "satellite"?
