Inheritance is a powerful tool. And like anything powerful, you need to think very hard about it use and assess whether another approach might be more well suited to what you are trying to accomplish. In my experience the reason people use inheritance is often simply to share common functionality. There are a lot of ways to get that done that don’t require inheritance.
