When comparing Linux which has case sensitive file names and Windows that doesn't, Windows is easier. Both have their conventions but it's easier when you have some flexibility. Similarly, having Nim take care of style is nice and convenient.
The note in the wiki is quite reasonable and so is the feature. Most importantly, it gives you the freedom to write your code the way you want. Each organization can have their own way and the language gives you that flexibility. Now, Nim has its own convention to keep things consistent as an organization - NEP1 and all - but you don't need to adhere with that thanks to style insensitivity. It took me some time to understand the motivation and I am for it. Overall, this hasn't affected me in all the Nim code I've read and written so far. I'd argue that it should be completely insensitive (leading _ is okay since you encounter that with wrapping all the time) and I'm against removing the feature.
