Mod_rewrite Is it Necessary?

Hi,

Is it necesarry to use mod-rewrite to change my URL's to more friendly
URL's?

I mean, i know i dont have to, but will this affect my SEO?

or

have spiders adapted to make this no longer necesarry now?

Not necessarily, but it might help a bit if some keywords appear in the
URLs.
>have spiders adapted to make this no longer necesarry now?
I care more about my visitors than about SEs. I prefer readable
("speaking"), hierarchical URLs, so IMHO a URL like

http://en.example.com/category/subca...roduct/details

is much more user friendly than something like

http://example.com/?module=products&...ails=1&lang=en
