VB.net is case-insensitive, and probably more popular than you think[1].

I think that case insensitivity actually does make sense when working with symbolic identifiers. I've seen justifications for "Foo" and "foo" being distinct symbols; personally, I find that playing with casing like that reduces my ability to read code quickly.

Case insensitivity does have its downsides, but usually it's not as noticeable in VB.net because most development is done in VS, which automatically re-cases symbols to match the original definition.

SQL also does it (albeit inconsistently).

With a tool which removes case inconsistency, it's almost like a language which is case-sensitive.

Almost, but not exactly. For example, you still can't have multiple symbols in the same scope that vary only by case. Which, personally, I'm okay with.
