Gregg,
I agree with your points. Most people do not want or have the time to
learn good OO before entering a project. However, practices and tools
are making developers who are not too knowledgeable about OO
able to create good OO applications. IMHO, I think OO is reaching a
maturity level so not all people have to know OO, but I don't think this
implies OO is on a decline or is becoming less important.
For example. Ruby is an OO language, but Rails can be used without
knowing OO concepts.
