Re: [cowiki-dev] Interesting wiki site...

I would think the reasons are obvious though.  Like my comment,
CamelCase links are completely unreadable.  They distract attention
and slow reading.  They're difficult to work with because they force
rediculous one-word link conventions like IntroDuction or the addition
of a nonsense word prepended to the link.  This additional complexity
makes it a horror to remember proper naming schemes, has new users
constantly make links to nowhere and pressing shift so muchj is hard
on my left pinkie.

CamelCase linking is a blight on the universe and my sensibilities as
a user and I am so intolerant of it that I can't even read a page with
it, letalone have a wiki that forces it.

I'd rather be forced to use an online Japanese -> English translator
and work with the "intriguingly excellent" bad grammar than force such
text onto my sensibilities.


or, more simply put.. IHateCamelCase.  or is that iHateCamelCase.. or
iHateCamelcase.. whatever.
