I'm more in the data oriented design camp where you use objects all the time, but also hate what seems to be flagrant abuse of OOP by many programmers. Casey Muratori had a good quote with regards to it (paraphrased): "Having objects in your code is fine, it's natural. We've been doing it since before OOP was a thing. It's the whole phrase 'object-oriented' that's the problem. You're orienting your thinking around objects, not functions. It's the orientation that's bad about it, not whether you wind up with an object."
