For me, I work with Japanese (EUC-JP, SHIFT-JIS, etc), so I really don't know about encodings in different languages. Some sites that I work with are in those encodings and it would be very difficult to convert all the files to UTF8. Free programs like Eclipse, TextWrangler, Smultron, etc can open the the files in the encodings I need but with Textmate it is impossible. I also remember a blog post from the Textmate developer that said they have no intentions of adding support for these encodings anytime soon. If almost every other free texteditor/IDE can open these can support many encodings, I wonder why textmate, which is not free, cannot.
