It's time to grow up? How can progress be made if we don't 
progress. 99% of all modern text editors support UTF-8... with 
your logic we could say that ascii characters only complicate 
things, why not just force everyone to code in binary? That would 
be the simplest thing to do, right?

What you are telling me is that you want too force me to use your 
view but you don't want me to force you to use mine.

What you are actually doing is assuming it would be a problem 
without actually knowing or having any evidence it would be. You 
should ponder that a little.
