Yes, I'm going to have to agree with this. OOP is just one paradigm.
But what has changed from the years this article was written is that OOP is not touted a panacea. Back when I learned to code, OOP was a synonym for "good".
That's why I'm saying no. OOP is no longer the hyped as it once was.
Anyway, he makes many valid points, like other articles about the disadvantages of OOP, but none of these every draws any convincing conclusions why OOP is 'bad' and why something else would be 'better'. In programming there is no paradigm that fits every application, OOP is just one of many ways to solve problems, and one that has proven that (if used pragmatically) works very well for a very broad range of problems.
