In recent years I've seen what looks like a slight resurgence of interest in software modularity. I've only really seen it in open source developer communities, and only in limited contexts, but it does seem to be a real, measurable increase. People are looking at programming style and saying "This needs to be decoupled," or at least "This needs to be more loosely coupled." This is a good thing, in and of itself -- the tendency has for a long time been to increase coupling over the life of a given software project, and to increasingly fail to instill decoupled programming values in people new to established projects.

I have to strongly disagree, OOP tends to increase modularity and decrease coupling, if used correctly. Only when you delve into the depth of things like ORM mapping tools and their accompanying atrocities like DAOs and Value Objects, but the have nothing to do with oop, and in my opinion are the antithesis of real oop.
Besides that, they screw up the SQL as well.
