Most people are afraid of classes and refuse to see the use of them. I was, until I took a JAVA class, which requires the use of classes, and saw the actual beauty of them. Classes are really useful, they reduce the clutter of your code, and make updating a site very easy. Unfortunately, classes aren't as useful in PHP as in other languages, but I still like them.
