    What paradigms? In software engineering, paradigms refer to means
    of analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintainance. The quickest
    paradims in the genre is fast prototyping or RAD.
    If your refering to problem solving, OO is a great example of divide
    and concour with top down designing. OO also provides for module 
    testing with ease.
    Speaking from experience, I was unable to create "intellectually
    managable" software until I learned OO design - even libraries
    allowed for too little cohesion and too much coupling.
