In my eyes, using CamelCase is a kind of cargo cult, based on the fact that the programming language Smalltalk used it. C++ adopted the style and moved away from the predominant use of underscores in C. So, people who want to be seen as modern and object-oriented, are biased to use CamelCase to stress their competence in things OO.
