I agree with this to a point.  My one argument, though, is that people
(even Ada people) seem to ignore the use of fully-qualified names whenever
they can.  I find this "wordiness" to be one of the most useful aspects of
the language.  Nearly every time I download an example Ada program from the
net it seems to start with "with X; use X;", leading to potentially
confusing code.

I am also disappointed that Ada programmers often use use clauses.
