I don't know if "lots of people like to use it" or not. The LIngo OO model was never quite pure (with the parent thing distracting from the real issues). I documented part of that stuff and still didn't see the core OO stuff I'd hoped for.

My conclusion: you can't turn a procedural language into an OO language anyone really *wants* to use. Don't try.
Director's Lingo made that transition. Lot's of people like to use it.
And I would say that even if everyone who writes Lingo code likes using the OO features, that is still a minuscule audience. (Though admittedly probably still larger than the Transcript audience...yet.)
