I had experience somewhat counter to this. I learned C and C++ first, and when I first started working with Java things like CamelCase did seem a bit strange and off-putting to me, but I got used to the less keystrokes surprisingly quickly, and it's one of the things which bothers me most about working with Rust. I think there is such a thing as liking what's familiar, but there are also design decisions which are simply easier to read or easier to parse. Another one would be semicolons: I have never missed semicolons one bit in a language where they're not required.
