Your whole argumentation is based on this assumption, that PHP *only* is
used for writing web scripts. This is a faulty assumption. PHP is
already used for writing stand-alone applications (think PHP-GTK and the
CLI SAPI), and this is likely to increase in the future because of the
improvements in the OOP support in PHP 5.
I totally agree a 100% that a quick little web script don't really need
OOP. But PHP, or rather, the Zend Engine 2, is not limited to only web
scripting. It can be used for so much more, and that needs to be taken
into consideration when discussing these things.
