Correct. The main problem I see with OOP is that some people advocate it as the only correct way to write maintainable code, which, of course is completely wrong. In fact, OOP doesn't translate well to some problems. There are also problems where FP doesn't work as nicely as other paradigms. In short, there is no silver bullet and advocates of any paradigm should be more open about that.

Yes, my opinion is similar. There are problems that naturally lend themselves to being modeled using objects, and others which have to be beaten into submission. Not having to beat them into submission with half-witted OOP implementations, like C++, does help, but it is not always sufficient to take away the sensation of "unnaturalness", if you don't mind the invented word.
