In my experience, complaints about namespaces boil down to an
observation the the Namespaces Rec elegantly solves a problem that's
practically non-existent in practice, and utterly fails to assist with
real-world integration challenges.
Look at any introductory text on namespaces, and the first section
explaining why they're needed will have an embarrassingly contrived
example. --Try it!
