Less though than CamelCaps because at least you don't have to reach for your shift key all of the time.

Ok that made me laugh. How exactly do you get the _ character on your keyboard? 🙂

True, I guess I didn't think that one through all of the way. I plead the 5th since I've had a bit to drink tonight. =)
 
Hahaha, custom keyboard mappings?

Well it would be simple to do something like swap - and _ but that would be confusing for awhile. And since I'm so accustomed to Linux which is 99% lower case letters and _ in the filenames, etc I type _ without thinking about it so while it still requires shift+- it slows me down less than shift+most_other_keys.

Well StudlyCaps is extreme but IMO CamelCase is just as bad. And the same goes for HungarianNotation that I always see in MS' crap.
HungarianNotation is horrible, I agree.
That's because you don't really know what Hungarian Notation is. When used correctly it is an extremely valuable programming notation.

Actually I've read that article a long time ago, thanks anyways.
