To sum it up, OOP makes it easier to write and change programs in many
cases. Don't push it on yourself, though - I tried to do that when
I began learning python and I could never make sense of it but it sort
of came with practice a bit later.

Don't use it until you feel some particular task calls for OOP. Then
it'll fall into place. On the other hand, I hear some people code for
decades and still don't feel OOP is useful, so it may be a matter of
personal taste.
