I dislike the prefix from a stylistic point of view only, the arguments for and against are weak. I remember debating with our datawarehouse designer whether our tables should be singularly-named or plural. Also if the primary key should be TablenameID or just ID. In the end it doesn't matter. The only thing that materially impacts productivity is maintaining consistent conventions. Take it from someone currently working on a database with three different object prefix styles, key naming and data access methods (ORM, stored procedures and argh dynamic SQL).
