VisualStudio *is* the world's greatest IDE. I love it. I use NetBeans
for Java (anyone tell me how to get the darn thing to show whitespace
chars!?!?!) and Komodo for Perl. IDEs aside, it is very nice to be
able to glance at a function and know what is local, a parameter, and
module level. Hungarian is useful in the same way, but perhaps less
so. I find that coders that started out in typeless languages (Perl)
never saw the use of Hungarian. However, I usually just change my
style for the language I am working in.
FYI - I'm only 28 : )

Fair enough, and it wasn't a veiled insult or anything :) I just
truly want to know why people would still use that particular
convention with modern OO languages and IDEs. Visual Studio is
supposed to be the worlds greatest IDE and yet developers routinely
prefix class/member variables with _/m_ to differentiate them from
method/local vars - should this not be the job of the IDE if it truly
is confusing?
It's like that Systems Hungarian notation (where you specify the
datatype as part of the variable name) - guess I'm too young to
appreciate when it may have been useful
