I think the problem with OOP is that it is merely a pattern and yet has been integrated into many languages in a very prominent way. This can mislead people into thinking it's something more fundamental and generally applicable - but it's not, it's just another pattern, which for some things works great, and for others is terrible. Just like when you read that aweful code that someone wrote just after reading a book on pattern x and forced it upon a project, the difference is OOP is forced on almost everything. Once you realise this it's fine, you just don't use those features when it doesn't make sense.
