The underscore convention work also in case insensitive languages.
The InnerCaps convention fails to solve the issue of all caps words like
SMTPTCPIPConnection. Usual solution is to write them wrong as
SmtpTcpIpConnection.
The underscore convention tends to make lines longer, which can have bad
effect on readablity.
IMO it is a personal preference issue, and also an issue of what fonts and
development envirnmoent is in use.
IMO if one has to select *one* convention for a whole company using many
languages then only the underscore one stands. With InnerCaps there is a
possibility to create hard-to-find name collisions, especially in languages
where the type of variables can change runtime by a simple assignment.
