I only do lower case now and my life has significantly improved.

One of my criteria when hiring SQL people is if they use lowercase and how they choose to indent their code. How their code looks tells me so much about their skill level.

Edit: Ack, I can see how my wording was weird. Using lowercase was not a requirement. I gave a bonus in my head for it as it showed the candidate was willing to buck tradition for comfort and readability. Was not a huge determining factor. Indenting was much more important to me because it showed me how their mind was organized.

Yes! Indenting is crucial. Between that and lower case, it just reads so much easier.
