I'm with windows on this one. Case insensitive is much more ergonomics with the only sacrifice represented by this meme. And a little bit of performance of course. But the ergonomics are worth it imo.
so cool story, on linux theres this thing called you can just not make case sensitive files, i do it a lot.
You can also just, use a case insensitive autocomplete setup as well. If you're using a mouse idk why you're even talking about this so that wouldn't matter.
You can just not use capital letters if you feel like it. Works pretty well. Or just use a case insensitive shell handler for pretending it's not actually cased at all.
Hell im pretty sure you could just render all of the text in a certain case and call it a day lol.
If you have "Dir1" and "DIR2" and you type "cd d", your prompt will look like in the next picture. Fish automatically transforms "d" into "D", because there is no dir starting with the lowercase "d".
On a subsequent <TAB> you'll get a list of dirs matching your prompt so far in which you choose an entry with the cursor key and enter it with the enter key.

it depends on your shell configs. In my case it sits at dir/Dir (case insensitive) waiting for me to specify 1 or 2, where as if you disable it, it's dependent on whether or not you type d or D.
In the case of zsh it will quite happily do either and ask you which you meant just like if they were called Dir1 and Dir2. Also works if you have a dir1 and Dir2 in the same directory as well
