Procedural Programming is NOT a Bad Thing!

For way too long now, I've heard proponents of object-oriented programming describe badly written programs as "procedural", as if to imply that procedural programming is a Bad Thing.

Good design is possible using any programming paradigm, just as bad design is. Stop using procedural programming as a derogatory term!

I personally prefer multi-paradigm programming, so that I can use the paradigm that feels right for the job at hand.
