namespaces

ok, im relatively new to php programming and have been plodding along quite unaware that it is possible to actually use namespaces in php as I can in c# etc.

Its really ugly though as they have decided to use backslashes - why!

Anyway, I am interested in other php programmers views on whether namespaces will catch on in php and whether I should begin to use them now?
