The std namepsace has a lot of identifiers, and they are called generic things like string or iterator. If you use another library then there could be a chance that it has the same identifier. Even if the other library doesn't use the same identifier at the moment, it could do in the future, so there's a conflict in your global namespace.
Really you should just do std::cin instead of using the global namespace, it also adds clarity to code and makes it easier to read.
However, I get the impression from Silent Kane that he doesn't like the std namespace itself, rather than what I just posted.
