I've been programming in large OO applications since about 1993. One problem is that a lot of useful code gets buried way deep in an OO class hierarchy, where you are forced to create lots of intermediate objects just to get to the useful functions.
This really hurts the re-usability, unit testabilty, and a lot of other ilities.
