This is the kind of comment I don't find very useful.
First, how do you know that most people use underscores rather than 
CamelCase?

Even if we accept this for a moment as factual, does that mean that's 
it's better?

As far as I know there are more Windows uses than Linux users.
More Christians than Jews.
More cheap radios than state of the art sound systems.

Back to the actual discussion. The conventions one uses have a lot to do 
with the programming culture one is accustomed to.
