OK, I think I see the problem. When I started using Emacs I though it was a bit weird in some respects (for example, "jumping" many lines when point reaches end of visible buffer), but I got used to it. Also, recently I have started to user C-l (recenter) much and like it quite much. I use it almost automatically and do not think of the "strange" behaviours of Emacs because I get what I want in the center of the screen.
