First, I think it's significant that these are "old" posts. Second, I see this sort of thing alot where people seem to think that there is only "one true answer" to a problem and proceed to ferociously defend that solution as if there were no other possible solution as cool as the one they are behind.
Perhaps the most popular example of this in current times is some debate in the media about which alternate energy source is really the best one. Solar is better than wind is better than E85 is better than Hydro is Better than nuke - etc... It's also seen in the monthly debates on CFTalk about PHP is better than ASP is better then .NET is better then CF - etc... In reality, it's more like the right solution for the right problem. Usually it's actually a combination of solutions that do the job. This case if no different. In fact, look inside any single method in a OO design and what to you typically find? Chunks of procedural code calling other OO methods. I think it's dangerous to call out any single technology or technique as if the others are all hogwash. Hogwash indeed. -Cameron PS: No hogs were harmed during the writing of this email.
