You can't ignore the boilerplate while you're writing it, which is a pain that 
I'd often prefer to avoid. 

You provide good reasons for preferring the approach that you advocate in the 
contexts in which you write programs.  But people write code for lots of 
reasons in lots of contexts, and in some of them the minimization of 
boilerplate and ceremony is quite valuable. And in some of them the clarity 
provided by namespace qualification is not worth the extra typing and clutter. 

YMMV, which is really my main point.
