One of my NAS units ended up with a case-insensitive filesystem on it at some point, and I'm too lazy to go through the trouble of changing it. It's pretty annoying to do `mv filename.that.should.be.in.something.like.proper.case.mkv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkv` and then realize that nothing actually changed.[0]
But my mother, case-sensitive filenames on her MacBook would make her life much worse. She can barely manage the high volume of files she creates as a teacher as it is, and the potential for accidentally doubling that number, or worse, is terrifying.
[0] So of course I have an alias `mvd filename.that.should.be.in.something.like.proper.case.mkv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkv` that actually does `mv filename.that.should.be.in.something.like.proper.case.mkv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkvzzz && mv Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkvzzz Filename.That.Should.Be.In.Something.Like.Proper.Case.mkv` and all is well.
