Mike,

My $.02,

I agree OO and frameworks should be the end goal because they allow you to be so much more productive then procedural coding.

In my experience procedural coding can be done in any language including Smalltalk, Java, C++, and PHP. I've seen entire programs written in a single method (IE... public static main... or Servlet's doGet)

Procedural works well as folks learn a new language. You can have standalone code segments that you study and learn from start to end. After folks code procedurally, they will always find that they are coding the same type of coding/logic over and over and over again (persistence, UI, data validation, user security, etc) and this will start to push them towards OO and frameworks.

I personally don't think the industry has done a good job of communicating/educating the significant value of OO/frameworks has over procedural.
