No reason other than that is what I started off with and I’d rather keep things consistent. Had I started off with underscores then I’d be asking the team to stick with that.

I guess that section is more about ‘keep everything the same’ rather than ‘we must specifically use hyphens’ :)

Cheers, H

I recently brought this up with my own team after updating a 4-language piece on a project. It was originally pieced together at different times and was inconsistent. However, I was testing the waters with them trying to sell them on underscores.

We've all been using dashes in CSS for so long, but nowadays I personally feel like I'm writing so much JS that I'm longing for underscores.

Downsides: 1. You have to press shift a lot more when writing css 2. ???

Upsides: 1. You can use the "same_name" in CSS and JS 2. You can double-click easily

Feel free to expand on this, we haven't made the change, it's just something that crossed my mind recently :)

Underscores in JavaScript are non-standard too.
