I just had a "Windows flashback" thinking of case sensitivity. I was 
recently coerced into reviewing some VC++ code using VisualStudio - what 
a freaking nightmare. People speak of this IDE system as if it fell from 
the sky - it is actually the most unintuitive, complex piece of garbage 
I have ever laid eyes on. Case insensitivity is at the top of the PITA 
list for non-windows developers. Case sensitivity and code development 
(and general file/directory organization for some) go hand in hand.
