Ok, for what it's worth... I personally now use SublimeText2 as my sole
plain-text editor on Windows. It supports UTF-8 natively -- with or
without BOM. (Has apparently no bidi support, so for some people that
would be a non-starter.) Can read/write a healthy variety of encodings,
easily accessible via menu, including an option to re-open the current
file with some other encoding.

And because I'm an emacs geek, I hacked up an emulation keyboard mapping
that works pretty well. ST2 also has a bunch of other features for
working on projects and will auto-save buffers and window configs across
reboot/restart.
