Aren't "easier to read" and "painful to look at" almost, if not quite, mutually exclusive? In my case, the underscores draw my eye down at the end of each word, making it feel like it takes a lot longer to read and interpret. I-would-think-hyphens-would-be-both-easier-to-type-and-easier-to-read.
Nope. "Easy to read" is "I can tell words apart easier by using them," "painful to look at" is "not really aesthetically pleasing." One is form, one is function.
Hyphens are harder to read. The dash being in the middle of the vertical space reads as part of the word and not a separator, to my mind at least.
