Years ago I came to the same conclusion but in a completely 
different area: I was programming generators for sudoku puzzles 
and it's variants. This looks like being ideal for OOP, because 
all those variations are quit similar, but it proved not to be. 
The puzzles, the program produced, where not really good. And the 
reason was, that every variation needs it's own optimization for 
good results and that was almost impossible with all those code 
sharing. Eventually I rewrote everything with a single program 
for every variation. That worked much better, although it was 
code repetition over and over again.
