My guess is that it is slighly better than the other prevailing paradigm: DB oriented programming. In DB oriented programming, instead of god objects that store global state for everything under the sun, there is a god database that stores global state for everything under the sun. Historically, software engineering has been a cat and mouse game of referencing global state, finding some clever way of hiding it, and then finding an even more clever way of referencing it again. Lather - rinse - repeat!
