It's hard to know actual progress from fads until roughly a decade down the road. After being burned, I try to let others be the guinea pig now (unless I'm paid to do R&D). OOP was supposed to be the cat's meow. It turned out fairly good for certain infrastructure utilities/API's, but lousy for domain modeling, but was originally sold on domain modelling. It took people a while to realize this. OOP has use, but not the way the hypesters sold it.
