And you've not convinced anyone.
Objects can make code do some amazing things and often through economy of scale. So it's 'bloated' for a small solution? With 60 lines and 10 minutes, I can leverage over 500 lines and I have a brand-new database-backed object that has late-loading, automatic caching, intelligent saving and a very easy to use collection. Another 60 lines and I get it all for another object. With ten objects, my core code is now 50 per object. With twenty, it's 25 per object. And the object notation means I can re-factor some part of the core object and everything automatically and invisibly benefits. This is much harder to do with procedures.
