why not use underscores?
I've always liked underscores better because it differentiates from the file extension. It just makes sense. Except it is a wider character, so it'd be longer.
Gotta hit shift though. Period, ezpz.

wow azerty needs shift to enter a period?
well if you're using a mono font (terminal) then there are no such thing as wider characters anyway, so for me that's not a drawback either
They are ugly. Just use -

What happens when a hyphen is used in a movie title? I think that's frequent enough, versus an underscore or a period.
Semi colons wouldn't be valid in file names so they're ignored so there's no reason to include hyphens either
Underscores require you to use the Shift key.
Do you type with one hand?
And well even if you did you could hold down right shift instead of left shift to only use a single hand.
When you have RSI you want to minimize every single key press.
