I have been told that by a few, but I really don't know why they
dislike it. I've gotten used to it rather quickly and use it more
often now, even for small tests apps. eg: In fpGUI there is no extra
"object" file for UI Forms - fpGUI only uses a single .pas file (no
extensions like *.lfm or *.xfm or *.frm) , so I prefix a unit that
contains a Form declaration with 'frm_'. This works great for me.

The more I think about it, the more I think Java had a good idea with
directories as part of the namespace as well. This allows you to
create code based on your companies domain name - and will not clash
with others. Sometimes I with Object Pascal had something like that
too.
