I have a huge functional programming proponent, but not when it comes to UI components, in my opinion this is the one and only place that OO shines, now in saying that I am not a big fan of deep nested inheritance, I prefer wrappers around more generic objects that delegate to the more generic object, but that is a personal preference. I am not too keen on hooks myself and prefer to use class based components to represent UI black boxes.
