    I Hate Hungarian Notation (in the context of VS.NET, which is where I live)

    Edit: Let me restate my position as I should have in the first place.

    I displike Hungarian notation. I don't think that it serves a purpose in a modern IDE like Visual Studio.NET. The benefits it was created to provide matter much less and it creates other issues, therefore I believe that it hinders more than it helps. The way it is used by many doesn't even provide the function for which it was created, with the overuse of prefixes like "obj". Personally, I don't think developers using an IDE with the functionality of Visual Studio or equivalent should use it.

    Here is an explanation of what Hungarian notation is for those who don't know.
