For files of casual users it might be of benefit. They don't care about capitalization. For system files, I find it pretty weird to name them with random capitalization, and it's actually pretty annoying. Only lower- (or upper-)case would be ok tho.

Well, camel case does help readability on file names. But I guess that's the point of case insensitive names, it doesn't matter. However you want to call them will work.
