If it was up to me I would have removed this feature long, but not because it's a problem, only because of people like you who judge programming languages based on what they see at the surface.
There are still plenty of people who dislike Python because "significant whitespace, bleh" with no objective reason why they dislike it except "it gets messed up when I copy the code". That's a tooling problem, just like with style insensitivity, it's not hard to search in a style insensitive manner and in fact all tools should allow this mode for convenience.

Something like m_?[Yy]_?[Vv]_?[Aa]_?[Rr]_?[Ii]_?[Aa]_?[Bb]_?[Ll]_?[Ee] I never want to type a regexp like that just to find all occurrences of a simple var name. Even if a plugin did it for me, it would still be slower and it doesn't help me on the command line.
