encapsulation and abstraction (higher cohesion/lower coupling), and etc.
On resistance to change, system objects change infrequently while processes
and procedures (top-down) are frequently changed, providing object-oriented
systems with more resilient system organization.
[Harmon 93]:
Faster development
Increased Quality
Easier maintenance
Enhanced modifiability
[Booch 94]:
Exploit power of OOPs
Reuse of software and designs, frameworks
Systems more change resilient, evolvable
Reduced development risks for complex systems, integration spread out
Appeals to human cognition, naturalness
