>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.

holy shit, that's why vim cursor controls have always been such a bitch to learn. because the hjkl controls are made for a qwerty keyboard! i never realized that before. now i see why they chose such random senseless keys. arrow keys are superior, because they don't depend on keyboard layout.
