>emacs

Does anyone know of an editor better than emacs? I'm also wondering how I can change the default encoding to utf-8, on emacs or anything else.

I always thought Unix people were so idiotic with their HJKL keys. If they were going to use keys as arrows because terminals blew or they were stupid, why not using WSAD or EDSF? Why using a braindamaged horizontal combination? Before you post, the home row is not a good argument because EDSF is just as good (as you never press up and down at the same time), only much more intuitive, realistic and common sense. Perhaps I already answered my question.
