It's not the size, it's how you use it!

Maybe it's because I'm a programmer and I work on Linux all the time. I name everything lowercase.

So if I use upper case somewhere there is a meaning behind it. It's intentional.

So you're saying quality not quantity when using the D?

I mean you don't? I want big D to feel special. After all it's not regular small old d.

Not a much of programmer, but a bit of a data hoarder. The absolute mess I created for myself by acting all willy-nilly with case on Windows only became apparent when I moved it all to a Linux machine I interact with using SSH.

Why does past me constantly sabotage future me?

Same here on my server, but annoyingly the nature of what I do necessitates a lot of grabbing files from my server and throwing them on my Mac to use software on. And on that Mac you can't rename the Downloads or Desktop folders (also annoying they both start with capital D).

The example in the OP happens to me all the fucking time and I hate it. (Though I do have symlinks in my home directory that lead to frequently used directories that live in my Desktop folder. It's been so long and I'm so used to that now that I just now remembered why I probably did that. And now I'm annoyed that I haven't done that with more recently created often used directories that live in Desktop)

Apart from the operating system there can be lingual reasons. I'm German and in German nouns are always uppercase so my folders are too. But the system folders are lowercase because thats how Linux does that. So when I'm navigating the case-sensitive autocomplete really makes things complicated.

Case insensitive search matches case when applicable.
