Makes it easy to make batch files and macros that do the conversion to UTF-8. You have to be comfortable with the command line, but it's super-convenient.
Notepad++ has plugins that convert a whole lot of text

Even if Sigil can't (won't) fix dual encoding things, I would like it to Pop up a Stop message, rather than silently throwing characters away or trashing them completely.
