As long as you keep your .h/.cpp pairs, it would not make much of a difference 
to me, indeed. But that's because I'm so used to do this grep/open step all 
the time, I do it many dozen times a day. For many other people it makes 
perfect sense to have header files which at least resemble (probably better 
if they match) the class name.

If I think about it, it's very nice for people like me, too, because it makes 
this situation where you look at a source file, see some class and wonder 
what interface it provides. Then you can go to the top of the file, locate 
the include statement which probably pulls in that class (and that is the 
step where nice names are useful) and press 'gf' to go to the file under the 
cursor (at least in vim).

However, I don't see how uppercase vs. lowercase vs. camelcase vs. underscores 
or anything makes a difference, as long as I can visually guess which of 
those header files I see has the class I'm interested in. I still think it's 
silly to spend so much time discussing the name of the files instead of 
what's contained in them.
