Should we get rid of underscores?

[Sergey Basalaev]

I came to a conclusion that the underscore character "_" is not
easy to type on some phones and strings with it look longer, so

may be it was not a wise decision to use it in function names.

Should we get rid of it and use function namesWithCapitals instead?

[Kyle Alexander Buan]

Definitely. Yes.
For example, in my phone, ui_set_screen took 47 clicks (IF I did not
use the quick symbol input of Symbian phones*), while uiSetScreen just
took 32 clicks.

* The underscore at the symbol selection popup is 6th character at
third row. Once I choose it, it will be copied into the first
character at the first row. The first row keeps the 8 recently used
symbols. So after I used 9 key presses to enter an underscore, I just
need 2 key presses to type it again. But I didn't do that in my
example.
