I've never really gotten the hate towards OOP. It's always logically made sense to me. It follows along the path of abstraction and encapsulation computers had been moving steadily towards. It just takes the concept of a function, packages it together with some kind of data, keeps the internal workings separate from the rest of the program and allows one to reuse or extend those small pieces. It may not be the best way of abstracting above procedural programming, it's not suitable for everything, it's easy to use poorly, but it's there and it does have benefits and can exist peacefully along side other paradigms.
