As a developer, I must say that I *hate* it. It means that I have fewer options to write generic code, and it always seemed overkill to me.

If I want to fully qualify name (which I should in select statements) then I'll use the table(alias).column notation, which is much clearer.

Plus, it's more typing, and can be confusing if there are similiar table names.
