Sometimes bad naming conventions are biting us. Long before I joined the project someone decided that every class should have a 'C' prefix to its name. So, instead of Window we have CWindow etc. And all those reside in files named without the initial 'C'. This rule has a very nice side effect.
Can you guess what class is in the file called Logger.cpp? :)

Yeah, certainly that organisation has a lot to do with a lot of things. :) But someone has to decide to use that particular style in that project. And nobody really can tell me why. I've heard a very nice therm for that: Cargo Cult Programming.
As for scope prefixes, I'm big fan of Uncle Bob's clean code, and usually, I try to write classes and methods so small, you don't need any prefixes to visually separate things. :)
My soul burns!
