      Hyphens > underscores for filenames because all web standards prefer hyphens so if you ever want to network your files its a much smoother experience!

        They suck hard. I use the renpy engine and there you reference file names directly but always lower case and spaces and hyphens turn to underscores. That can cause issues, so I just do underscores in my file names. Don’t give damn about the web.

        This is what I need, an explicit reason that makes one choice better than another. If hyphens make for a smoother experience, then I’ll reconsider my default behavior.

        Thanks for pointing out this benefit.

      I prefer lowercase with hyphens, but I’m transitioning into a team that does everything camelCase, which is the second best case, but I still strongly dislike it.
