Core uses CamelCase class names.  The overwhelming majority of the PHP 
code I've seen in the wild uses CamelCase for both classes and 
namespaces.  Other languages certainly have other conventions, but this 
is PHP.  This isn't "personal preference of a junior programmer" (which 
is a rather flippant way to dismiss a fellow developer you do not know). 
It's the convention used by most of an industry.

Please get off your high horse.  You look quite silly up there.
