Do you believe that oop should be phased out and we start working on some alternatives?

I don't think so. In today's computer era, many different solution directions exist for any given problem. Where OOP used to be the doctrine of choice, now you would consider it only when the problem at hand fits an object-oriented solution.

Reason 1: When your problem can be decomposed in many different classes with each many instances, that expose complex interactions, then an OO modeling is justified. These problems typically produce messy results in other paradigms.

Reason 2: The use of OO design patterns provides a standardized approach to problems, making a solution understandable not only for the creator, but also for the maintainer of code. There are many OO design patterns.
