Like all things, I think it depends on the problem that you are trying to solve. Some things lend themselves well to having a nice abstraction layer while other times, this abstraction layer just adds unnecessary complexity.

I don't want this to turn into a C vs C++ debate but I do agree with Linus in that it's nice being able to just grep for something.

But when it comes to OO i (nearly) always use Moose.
