It is pretty widely used (in C/C++ anyway) and is definitely
recommended. It makes code much more readable. There are often
variations from programmer to programmer, but the biggies "sz", "n",
"f", "hwnd", etc. are pretty consistent and make it infinitely easier
to (a) allow someone else to read and understand your code; and (b)
allow you to understand your code having been away from it for a
while.
Definitely use Hungarian naming. It takes so little effort and makes
your code much more readable.
