And last but not least, real namespaces don't have the circular reference problem Pascal compilers had since TP days and that also helps creating files that are more maintainable.

The circular reference problem has nothing to do with namespaces.

Alef has demonstrated he is perfectly capable of speaking for himself, but I guess a point to be made is that in Delphi you can only have two class declarations contain references to each other if they both are declared in the same unit with the proper forward declarations. In C# you don't need forward declarations and can therefore put such classes in different units. (Which, of course, comes at the price of slower compilation.)
