I would be very proud - and I suggest most people should be - if I had written so many complete, useful and novel tools for myself (and others). It shows great proficiency and understanding of how to get things done. Which is arguably the most important skill a programmer can have (read Linus' C++ rant too ...).
Personally I think - and that mindset was to a significant part shaped at University where this was a bit of a running gag in the 90's because the notion was actually taught - that OO was simply an attempt at getting people who have a more dominant right half of brain ("less intelligent people" if you forgive the conclusion) to structure their code better, because for some reason working with OO patterns and methods supposedly appeals to that half more.
In other words, OO was inflicted upon us to get dumb people to write code too. Yes, it's offensive, but ... make your own observations.
