>OOP is good for domains that naturally give rise to a clearcut inheritance structure, such as stateful GUI frameworks or ontologies that directly mirror real-world objects Stateful GUI frameworks are not the only way to build UI frameworks... It'd be pretty easy to argue that people are building stateful UI frameworks because they're predisposed to think about them in terms of OOP. And so far as I can tell, inheritance ontologies never directly mirror any real world objects. Real world objects are purely compositional with some specialized emergent context-sensitive behaviors.
