OOP is ?

Why do people hate on OO so much.  Do a degree it was forced down my throat in college and many of its principles I disagree with.  It almost seemed design to cause code bloat and run slower than a non OO language, but still has some reasonable application in modern programming.

It's a simply a design method. You structure your code so that it becomes easy to reuse common code. It's very useful to inherit basic code traits and focus on extending the less common requirements. As with any system, it can be a habit to apply so many layers of abstraction that the the whole system becomes structurally unwieldy which would lead to code bloat.

I'm not sure how one would fix this other that getting programmers to experience this and telling them "don't do it that way".
