Yeah pretty much this.

If a paradigm (whether functional, OOP, or whatever label makes you feel better) isn't working for you when it has worked for many others, maybe it's not because the paradigm sucks... it's because you might just suck at the paradigm?

Obviously there are cases where things were pigeonholed into the wrong paradigm for the job. Then it's a case of the person choosing the paradigm sucking at choosing the paradigm. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
