I think a more accurate statement would be that the majority of php users that prefer the OO features would prefer namespaces. I also think namespaces could lead to what PEAR attempted to do in the first place. To create a Standard PHP Library (hmm, that acronym looks familiar) for people to use that aren't bound to the funkiness of using PEAR and all its dependencies like PEAR_Error (which is my own personal reason for not giving PEAR a second look).
