Why write the executable with an upper-first letter? Looks quite silly and not professional imo.

it's really a problem that the first letter is upper?
Not really for people who have their shells configured to auto-(de)capitalize the name of a command or binary, but for those that don't, it's a departure from what's normal. It's easily solved through an alias or similar, but still: why introduce the impedance?
Agreed. I'm a heavy CLI user and I can't remember a single one being upper-case.
Makes it feel like windows or something - ick
