I like OOP, basically. But as with all things in life, if one takes it too far, it quickly stops being fun.
To think that a) all problems can and should be solved via OOP and that b) it is superior to other techniques (as if it was a competition or a fight) is foolish. To think that some program, that is designed in an object-oriented way, is inherently better than some other program that isn't, is - to a degree - like saying some athlete is better than another one because one wears yellow shoes and the other wears green shoes.
