See. this is actually how it should be, imo... because emeralds are naturally more rare than diamonds. But, it's the other trades that make this crappy. Like 16 raw chicken for an emerald!??! You guys must be cray!
Guys, you're looking at it all wrong. What's an emerald "worth"? That depends on what it represents. And what it represents, to me, is a way to turn farmable items, like wheat and paper, into otherwise non-renewable stuff like glass blocks and diamond gear. Sure, some trades are a lot better for this than others; like you wouldn't want to trade diamonds for emeralds, just to turn around and trade the emeralds for a diamond pick. You'd have been better off just crafting the diamonds into the pick yourself, in that case. But starting off with say, six or eight stacks of paper (which I can get more than that with just a single harvest of my cane farm), and turning that into a diamond pick? Yes, please!
Personally, the worst trade I've seen is 10 gravel and an emerald for 4 to 5 flint. It's only for those who are in adventure mode and can't break blocks or are too lazy to break the gravel over and over again.

Honestly, anything with flint annoys me when I see it. I can't imagine anyone's ever used it except to get to the next trade. Conversely, while I usually dislike redstone/glass trades on my normal worlds, they are quite useful on superflat, so I can't complain.
