> I'm really sick of these 'why blah sucks' posts. Clearly OOP works for a lot of people. If it doesn't work for you, don't use it. Most of us work in teams. If people I work with believe something that's not true, then it directly effects my work. If the majority of the profession believes something, it significantly effects my entire career. I don't actually hate OOP, although I have criticisms, but the attitude of "if you don't like it go somewhere else" is missing the point. Criticism isn't meant to be mean or nasty, it's meant to point out bad thinking for the benefit of us all. What bothers ME is the positivity police on hacker news that thinks that "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" applies to all of life.
