This is completely true, of course—the only reason I'm being a bit hyperbolic is because some rebalancing is still in order.

I agree that once the field matures what we will really (hopefully) finally see are people adopting different modes of organization based on the second order systems properties they support, rather than ideology or personal experience—but we aren't there yet.

I think there are certain cases in which using an object oriented approach makes sense, but man, it has led to so many bloated, needlessly complicated systems in which the majority of the work is dealing with inanities imposed by OOP discipline and structure rather than dealing with the actual problem the system is supposed to solve.
