I like the concept in general, but I have a few questions:
- Whatever is appended to init.el should IMO utilize custom.
- Does it, out of the blue, ask people to download software from the
internet? If so, it should say something to that effect.

That's untrue.

Is it really okay to encourage all users to install a set of packages?
If they are really so useful, they should be part of Emacs itself.
Also, I don't think the Emoji are necessary (or desirable): some users
do not have fonts installed, or terminals available that capable of
displaying them.
Thanks.
