> it really can help you to lower the complexity of programs

Yet to be proven. I never seen a single example of OOP bringing anything but more unnecessary complexity.

Than you might not have seen good OOP designs. My experience is different -- when you really apply good OOP design to software, you can reduce complexity and come to a clearer overall design. But of course the typical 5 day Java or C++ course will not get you there. You must learn to think in OOP -- and that is a process that might take years.

What books will get you there?

Could you please point to a classic example of a good OOP design, where it is clear that OOP made it simpler.
