Same. Was strongly considering getting into Nim, but screw that, not interested in needing special tooling for something as basic as reliably grepping Nim code,

  In this thread there are people who say "a convention is enough", but then don't give enough credit to the Nim convention. Maybe you are imagining a Nim library abusing this ability, and the same developer writing all different versions allowed: write_file, writefile, writeFile, w_ri_tefil_e... Nim developers are as smart as any other, and they like and write clean codebases adhering to the convention in NEP1. The ability to mix cases is used to fix libraries without having to disrupt their users. I've seen this kind of complains over and over: a new language emerges (e.g. Python 20-30 years ago), and what people finds the absolute showstopper is the indents instead or braces, a minimal part of the language that should not bother a competent programmer at all. The same people that were writting old PHP or old Perl, go figure, complainig that Python whitespace is ugly.
