It is..if the guy who coined the term said it is slippery.
If OOP is the way we organize our thinking then it completely failed us since the original idea was about objects and their connections.
The version of OOP we are using is about classes and their dependancies. Yes we need to make object connections through classes' connections. How many objects we have in our app, and how many classes you have in our code, and exactly how they are connected, if we want to change object connection s how do we do that... if we cannot answer those questions with precision then fine, they will come back as bugs any way. The old folks could answer those questions with procedural programming. Of course you can throw back: who cannot handle those bugs are cheap developers.. but that should be another topic.
Hint: if OOP is broken for us, it is broken for others too, especially the ones invented it, look for them, some of them tried to fix OOP for a long time. It is us with practical thinking and move on with whatever we have in hand. Those guys invented things because they did not just moved on.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
