Not sure how many people are writing programs with lots of numeric calculations.

Most programs in my experience are about manipulating records: retrieve something from a database, manipulate it a bit (change values), update it back.

Over here OOP do a good job - you create the data structures that you need to manipulate, but create the exact interface to effect the changes in a way that respect the domain rules.

I do get that this isn't every domain out there and _no size fits all_, but I don't get the OP complaints.

I currently think that most of the anger about OOP is either related to bad practices (overusing) or to lack of knowledge from newcomers. OOP is a tool like any other and can be used wrong.

Creating good reusable abstractions is not easy. It's quite possible to create tarballs of unusuable or overwrought abstractions. That is less of a knock on OOP and more a knock on the developers.
