There’s definitely stuff that it enables. I’ve been writing software since before it was a thing, and it was almost magic, when I first learned about it.

I also saw why it fell from grace, but I already knew, by then, that it was no panacea. I learned, on my own, that composition was often a better pattern, and I learned that, back in the 1980s.

Not worth arguing about, but I do find absolutism to be almost offensive, and there’s a damn lot of that, in software development.
