The hyphen breaks visual flow. The
underscore delineates under the flow. But I only use them ‘n file names.

I
Like My camelCase
Besides
its camelCase not "CamelCase"
Maybe
"camel-hypenCase_Under-scoreCase.is_BeTer"
But
do you prefix it with "_" or "s" or "m" if its a
private, static, or member variable ?
Thankfully
Hungarian has lost its charm ... I could never figure out what to
do with an _pidwulshString variable when I changed it to simply char* ...
I
remember an interview with Stroustrup where he advocated under_score_case and
thought camelCase was a bastard. Those with opinions .. will they
never stop pontificating !'
I
dont particularly like hyphen-case because I can't tell it apart from
"hyphen" <minus> "case"
even
if the compiler can.

There is only one way :) names should be all lower-case, with hyphen
as a separator. Camel case, or any thing else really, are awful for
xml.
I
strongly agree, but of course this one is a very subjective matter. I curse
Java for its propagation of the CamelCase eyesore.
