@bentossell I agree that finding your most commonly used emoji using the Apple Keyboard is easy because you know where they are (probably in your recents).
On the other hand, I would often find myself sometimes looking for an emoji that I know exists but am unable to find amongst the hundreds of emoji in the Apple Keyboard even after 15-30+ seconds of swiping. That's when Paste became extremely useful. I find myself more likely to find right emoji, faster.
I explain this in more detail in my blog post: http://dasmercodes.tumblr.com/po...
