Sergey -- I used the expression in a very general way. What I meant was: "If the shoe fits and feels comfortable, by all means wear it."

>>When a case sensitive language has a public facing interface that enforces case sensitivity rules, it becomes a problem between an annoyance and a serious flaw, depending on the situation. Case in point: Unix -based webservers which will not recognize http://www.northernlightssoftware.com/grantmanager.html to be the same as http://www.northernlightssoftware.com/Grantmanager.html. Somebody looking for that kind of address would not get there unless it is typed exactly as it is stored in the server.

>You're confusing a programming language with OS in this case but it's totally different story anyway.

Not really -- OS is built with a programming language, and the rules of the language are reflected in the OS. Hence the case sensitivity of web addresses in many Unix/Linux based servers that are built with various flavors of C. The language shines through the OS, for better or for worse.
