Let's see how long that one stays open! :-) From one of the answers: "results indicate a significant improvement in time and lower visual effort with the underscore style. The interaction of Experience with Style indicates that novices benefit twice as much with respect to time, with the underscore style." Having said what I said, I'll program in any language and abide by any convention if required. That's just what you have to do as a programmer. No issues there. If a client requires camelCase, so be it, it's not like it is crippling. If I have the freedom to do so, I tend to be very pragmatic about my own projects. I don't subscribe to fads both in my personal life and in software development. Camel case and Hungarian notation are just fads that, when surfaced, may or may not survive the test of time. The second, for the most part, did not. We'll see what happens with Camel case. None of this crap is necessary to write good code, or code that is bug-free, or code that makes you money. Life goes on. Those who love to camelCase, hey, it's OK, not the end of the world.
