We all should hate case insensitive file systems.  I certainly do.

But what do the masters think of them?  Here is Torvalds:

There are times when I am downloading several web pages on the
same subject and I don't have the inclination to give each saved
page a unique and distinctive name.  I will instead do this:

Subject.html
subject.html
SUbject.html
SuBjEcT.html

etc.

A trivial purpose but it can be important.
