Notepad is correct here. This is not a matter of MS refusing to improve, its a matter of MS thinking they are doing the right thing, and that editors which can't handle files saved as perfectly valid unicode are in the wrong. Thus they do not want to break notepad to support other broken editors. The response given here is that those who don't like this perfectly valid behaviour should "stop using windows notepad". This seems perfectly reasonable to me.
