Sadly C++/Java/C# have given classes a bad name. I think a lot of that is because in those languages classes are pretty much the only tool in the toolbox. After a while you are going to really hate that tool, no matter what it is. Also, all those languages are a pretty poor implementation of classes and OO. Modern multi-paradigm languages are great because you can use classes when classes are the right thing, and functional programming when that's the right thing. Classes are a great tool, but not the only tool.
