Old school OO languages where they had to use classes and objects to patch missing language features probably did suck. OOP as an abstraction API on a modern, type annotated language is really nice and intuitive. Anyone in doubt, but open-minded should be encouraged to checkout a language like Pony[1]. Although it _would_ be nice to have first-class functions instead of the lambda objects they have it's otherwise really nice. No inheritance, real type interfaces and traits instead of "abstract classes". Combine a modern language like Pony with (mostly) sane modern OO advice like in Elegant Objects[2] and you're finally cooking with grease.
