OO is just a fad that stays alive by inventing new sub-concepts around
itself every 2 years. These new things added to it, like "patterns"
and ORM's, are supposed to fix prior problems with it, but just add
more. It's a marketer's dream: a self-perpetuating-problem-solution
cycle.

The IT industry has been had (at least for custom biz apps).

Most of us old OOer's don't even think in terms of OO anymore. We just write code, and build systems like anyone else. We just happen to use lanuages like Java, C#, C++, Ruby, or Python to do it. We know how to make those languages work for us, and we know how to use the techniques of OO (polymorphism, encapsulation, etc) to manage the source code dependencies within our systems.
