I can understand that.  alllowercaseismuchworsethough. ;-)

I do too, since IMHO it's easier to type, but I think it's more 
important to agree on a standard.  (Now, it just occurred to me that if 
I map shift+space to the underscore character, typing 
lowercase_with_underscores is easier.  You can do this with khotkeys or 
xmodmap.  Now I wonder if I can train myself to use it.)
