I do regexps all the time. I appreciate the fact that the default
setting for searches in Emacs (for both plain strings and regexps) is to
be case- insensitive, unless the pattern/string includes a capital
letter, in which case it becomes case-sensitive.

My default in Vim is to ignore case. ':se noic'  (set no ignorecase) is
easy enough if I'm looking for a specific camel case item. ':se ic' puts
it back to insensitive. Having it triggered by a capital letter might be
nice but I've got a feeling sooner or later there would be an edge case.

In vim, I have the same smart case sensitivity as him in Emacs. I find
it really easy. Most of the time, I don't need the search to be case
sensitive, so it's easy to type in lowercase. And when the sensitivity
is important, I have almost always have a capital letter to write. Of
course, from time to time, there is an edge case, but is almost never
and it's easy to switch temporarily to sensitive case when needed.
