Case-sensitive vs. case-insensitive

my first language was Basic and I really liked that it didn’t care about case-sensitivity. Today HTML, sql and Visual Basic.net are case-insensitive , but most of the languages are case sensitive. What is better? Why case sensitive languages are winning?

It is because a code is more difficult to read if "Lin" or "LIN" are considered the same , just like in English ,when you say "I like swimming" and "I like Swimming" It isn't the same thing. Even though we understand what they meant, it isn't grammatically correct.

Case sensitivity organises the identifiers!
