Prior to the advent of OO, we used procedural styles, and we still had 
to run 500-seat call centres, book planes, run multinational banks, 
invent new drugs etc.

I guess applications that are database-oriented are easier to do 
procedurally as you tend to use simple data structures (relations -> 
arrays).

Trying to use procedural for some GUI visual design package would be 
tough, but a lot of real applications (web sites, twitter etc) are just 
reading and writing simple data structures.

The plus about procedural is it makes you partition. Just creating 
objects doesn't necessarily add order and elegance to a system.
