Page-up and page-down work fine in emacs. Home and End move the cursor to the beginning and end of the line, respectively.

It's clear you haven't even tried it.

Take a deep breath. Pick and editor and try and use it for a week.

I know that these buttons work too. But this is not a convenient way of using Emacs.
You said:

So just use page-down. What's the problem? Why isn't it convenient?

I prefer to follow design principals and product's phylosophy that laid down to the product by it's developers. If I find the principles inappropriate for me I prefer to find something different, than modding the product using any sort of plugins. Including keyboard's extension keys that I would call "plugin" too in this context.
Searching around for the perfect tool is so much easier than actually doing something, isn't it?
True! :) In fact I already have a good code editor(not terminal-based) that I used to use. I just want to find something that may improve my experience.
