Reuse, quality, an emphasis on modeling the real world (or a "stronger equivalence" with the RW than other methodologies), a consistent and seamless OOA/OOD/OOP package, naturalness (our "object concept"), resistance to change, encapsulation and abstraction (higher cohesion/lower coupling), and etc.
On resistance to change, system objects change infrequently while processes and procedures (top-down) are frequently changed, providing object-oriented systems with more resilient system organization.
[Harmon 93]: Faster development Increased Quality Easier maintenance Enhanced modifiability
[Booch 94]: Exploit power of OOPs Reuse of software and designs, frameworks Systems more change resilient, evolvable Reduced development risks for complex systems, integration spread out Appeals to human cognition, naturalness
