I think you could apply your argument to any use of objects, unless there are virtual methods involved. So you probably would have to be pretty generally against the use of objects to agree.

Classes for use with stack-allocated instances in C++ are also very handy. Makes it easy to control the extent (i.e. lifetime) of the side-effects they produce.
