  According to Stepanov STL author:

http://www.stlport.org/resources/StepanovUSA.html

"Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object 
orientedness is almost as much of a hoax as Artificial 
Intelligence. I have yet to see an interesting piece of code that 
comes from these OO people."

  I'd agree with him, just using a class, because it is the 
primary abstraction in C++, does not make your code OOP.
