This complaint was raised already, thought about and rejected, because elev8 was in prototype phase and we wanted to follow EFL style to be consistent with the rest of the code base.
For the advanced use cases, I do see your point. Users of elev8 'API' might end up having a mix of their style and EFL style in their code. But isn't that the case with using any third party library? (FYI : DART follows camel case as well, but with some variations) http://www.dartlang.org/articles/style-guide/#names But camel case, seems like an agreed upon style for C++ across many projects. Since elev8 is quite small in code size, now would be a good time to change the style. I can see prospective users complaining about readability of the code.
