The only good thing about OO as a architecture is, that there is nearly no education required to introduce it to the most novice in the field. Its basically the default thinking approach rebranded. It comes with all the benefits of a mental model - quick orientation, and all the negative of a mental model. (Badly adapted to fit to machine execution, after acertain complexity level is reached - god like actorobjects - basically programmers in softwaredisguise- start to appear).

Disagree. The original design patterns book was really about ways oop should be used that don't fit people's everyday conception of objects. (Of course that causes different problems for the novice keen to use the patterns but that's another story)
