This is just my personal opinion but I would really try to get a grip on OOP. I find OOP systems much easier to develop because they closely reflect real-life. Next to that, maintenance is much easier due to the fact each piece of code does not have to be repeated anywhere and code is much more reusable.
Again, this is my personal opinion on the subject. I do not wish to engage in a flame war over which language is best
Cheers!
