Michael, I see the many benefits of dotted namespace units.
Yes, they are the same ones everyone cites. None are very convincing. The only one - and minor at that - is the discovery. Take for example your "TEdit" versus "TWebedit" argument: I WANT to see TWebEdit, so I am reminded that I am programming in web, not in LCL. I use prefixes in my class names exactly to KNOW which class I am using, without having to look at the uses clause and possibly figure out the order in which units appear. As I said, I am not opposing this, but I do not think that dotted names are the fetish that most programmers seem to take it for. It's a matter of preference.
