This article only says one truth: OOP is not as famous as it used to be.

The rest of it it's completely mistaken. The writer has no clue about OOP.

Let me tell you the problem with OOP. Everybody said "use objects" you will re-use them over and over, not only for this project but projects in the future as well.

But we already have libraries and I still yet to find someone (or enterprise) reusing its own code.

Every respectable programmer knows he must refactor his old code again because it's not so good anymore.

There have been many claims about OOP that turned out to be mostly hype: reuse, intuitiveness, change-friendly, etc. What's remaining is more subtle and nuanced.
