1. Potential name collitions can be avoided by using "using std::cout" style statements.
2. Some programmers may wish to deliberate express usage of resources using "std::cout" when needed.
It might just come down to style, or convenience...

Hi,
are there any drawbacks using
"using namespace std"
instead of defining the required namespaces like
using std::cout
