IMO it's also important to understand the context of when GoF said that - Stroustrup's C++ book was advocating for things like "class WindowWithButtonAndScrollbar inherits from Window, Button, and Scrollbar" at the time!
The GoF book itself is full of examples that use inheritance, but somehow the bumper-sticker-sized advice has taken on a life of its own.
