I do not know any windows editor that uses ansinew, and no linux editor 
that uses latin1 by default. I have only latin1 and utf8 files.
And though I could live with utf8 only in case I would only use 
texworks, I still have collegues that do not even now what an encoding 
is and will
very likely habe latin1 files.
