I think a lot of this has to do with what people develop with. If they are a vim person then typing long names is annoying, but if they use any type of IDE, the autocomplete removes that hassle and the benefits of having a clearer naming convention can shine.

In case anyone reading doesn't realize, Vim can do keyword completions. It isn't automatic, but out of the box, you can press ctrl+n to move through a list of possible completions. Not as elegant as some IDEs I'm sure, but if typing is stopping you from using longer names, this could help.

People confuse 'verbose' and 'clear'. Long names make my eyes glaze over as a reader.

Vim has autocomplete too. This is not an argument about vim since I have seen vim users employing both conventions.
