>OOP is a superficial lowest common denominator of programming. Everyone can understand on a superficial level (cat is a animal, dog is an animal, cat does meou, dog does bark, kind of thing), and proceed to write programs. That's why it is popular. I think its more complex then this. The simplest form of programming is procedural. OOP is a level of abstraction above it in terms of understanding. I think the catharsis of grokking OOP gives it the illusion of being better.
