But it really depends on what class of activity one is writing code
for, though, doesn't it? For small, quick tasks, procedural code is
frequently quicker to write and more understandable for other people,
especially for "data processing" tasks.

I would accept, however, that should the author want to include the
functionality in other applications, or to develop the existing
functionality further, an object-oriented solution would be worth
attempting.
