I'd say that the 'poor man's closures' aspect of OOP - that is, being able to package some context along with behaviour is the most useful part for day to day code. Only occasionally is inheritance of anything other than an interface valuable.

Whether or not this is an endorsement of OOP or a criticism is open to interpretation.
