The point is third party applications (and perhaps even some Apple
stuff) is not well tested on anything other than the defaults. So its
far from impossible for there to be applications that internally are not
consistent with their naming. So part of the applications refers to
/path/file and another part /path/FILE, and expect these to be the same.
On the default mac install they are the same, but if you convert your
system to respect the case, they aren't, and the application might stop
working correctly... Its up you to decide which inconvenience annoys you
more...
