The problem as it appears is the abuse, not the notation itself! Too long prefix? Keep it shorter! Too hard to pronounce? Then don't pronounce, at least don't pronounce the prefix, pronounce it's name and (optionally) the long title that that prefix stands for! Too vague? Include then a commented "dictionary" in the headers that clarifies things. Getting out of date? This isn't actually a Hungarian Notation problem, that's a codding style problem. Choose then your prefixes more carefully (more generic maybe), to cover future changes! It's just plain stupid to dismiss something because of your problems! Solve YOUR problems (naming, pronouncing, etc.), because these aren't gone simply by dismissing a notation.
