They suck hard. I use the renpy engine and there you reference file names directly but always lower case and spaces and hyphens turn to underscores. That can cause issues, so I just do underscores in my file names. Don't give damn about the web.

Yeah I prefer underscores too but kebab case is definitely better for web and general ergonomics. Dash doesnt require a shift hold! Tho I still mix these depeding on tool or existing idioms. One thing for sure is that spaces and capital letters are stupid and we should do less of them.
