Would you care to offer a common application probem that you know to be difficult or intractable to OOD?

I'll bite.

Would you care to state examples that are intractable to non-OO solutions? This battle of wits you propose would be a two way street. I'd say nearly all solutions that appear to be best served by OO can be served equally well with strong data structures and relational databases. Folks have gotten by a long time on these, and they'll survive many buzzword-compliant trends. I like to use objects here and there, but sporadically, never enough to call my programs object oriented. Basically structures are good enough for me in most cases.

I was educated to love pure OO. It took me years to unlearn that. And I'm a much better (and more open minded) programmer because of it.
