>>Over the years I've seen maybe half-a-dozen cases, in other peoples' code, where the programmer carelessly used different cases when referring to the same variable or other symbol name in a case-insensitive language. The code was always sloppy, so now it's a real "Danger, Will Robinson!" signal to me.

>>In the final analysis, I prefer to use autocomplete/IntelliSense-like features of the IDE, or just copy/paste of variable and symbol names rather than typing them every time (error-prone), so case sensitivity doesn't really matter to me. If you code like your language is case-sensitive, even if it isn't, you never get burned.

Unlike Sergey, I type with both hands and very fast.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
