I don't know about Delphi, but OPO is pretty OO. Almost everything in the environment is an object, with properties (most of which are accessible through a graphical property sheet, the others through Oracle BASIC code) and methods. Methods can be overridden, etc. You can create custom classes which are comprised of any other objects, and can include user-defined methods.

So, all in all, it is a very nice combination of OO principles and a graphical design and development environment. One thing I don't really like (and Oracle has announced a fix) is the fact that there is no separate editor window for Oracle BASIC code - it's entered in a large text entry field in the property sheet. Not a killer, just inconvenient when writing large amounts of code.
