I adopted this style after working in TypeScript for a while and then going back to C#. I came to really like having an explicit receiver on every function. I work in a lot of languages where that's required, such as TS and Rust, and now the “normal” C# style of calling a method without receiver is confusing.

Also lots of people love to add _ or m_ before fields to distinguish them from local variables, so why not just use `this.`? I think once you actually use this style it starts to make a lot more sense.

It's a lot easier to visually scan for _ than for 'this.', quicker to read code that uses _, and it's about 5 times quicker to type.

I personally think reasons like this are just pulled out of thin air to justify simple style preferences. For example, `this` is an entire word that the editor draws in a different color, so it seems unlikely that `_` is easier to scan for. Even I'm not claiming to have objective reasons for preferring `this`.
