I'd like to tie this to languages and their age. I feel like young languages have a tendency to advocate only one of those, and as they mature they engulf most or all of them. C# used to be all about OO, then it got FP (lambdas), and dynamism.. The extreme example could be Lisp, in which you can do pretty much any of the paradigms you mentioned.

Young languages--and young programmers. I find myself having less time for holy wars as I get older, anyway.

Scheme, SML, and Haskell are all >20 years old, and pretty strongly "functional". ML (the original one) is over 40 years old.
