As a new programmer I felt blessed when I learned OOP.

I could actually write long and clean pieces of code, without spending double time on restructuring them. Clean and coherent structure is important for understanding, while understanding your own code, and remembering what it does, creates a more fruitful development. Since new programmers often work iteratively by adding new features to their code, this is rather positive, than negative and that extra learning effort is always rewarded.

By knowing OOP you can access other's libraries in the language you recommend. By using other's libraries and by altering them, you can create more cool stuff faster.
