I use objects that can't transition from one state to another practically every working day. It's a strange view point to me that because something is immutable, it's not really an object. But a view worth thinking about. To me the important thing is hiding internal state and sending high level messages instead of something like "change internal field x to y". Whether that internal state you're hiding is immutable or not seems irrelevant to me.
