The reason many of us use upper case is that we started on systems that only supported upper case. Then at one time some were case sensitive and some were not, making porting from one place to another a nightmare if you hadn't been consistent. Then factor in that if you do your code in upper case and comments in lower it, arguably, makes it easy to read. So we stick to upper case and don't see it as an issue.
