Out of curiosity, does anyone know why they decided to use capital letters in directory names?
I suppose camel case makes sense for readability with multi-word names, but to me it would also be kind of a pain on the command line. I see myself constantly typing, for instance, /pro<TAB> only to have zsh's correction ask me if I meant Programs.
Whenever I create directories, I always try to use digits and lowercase letters *only*, unless it's absolutely necessary. I think this habit was ingrained in me by TLDP or something similar when I first started using Linux.
