Inheritance for me mainly works best in a very contained environment. I suppose if I were responsible for a core set of code that would apply to multiple applications (like a GUI control set), it might make sense. My career has been spent developing one application after another, and rarely do they inherit from each other. Maybe basic concepts, but as soon as some other team member does not understand something, they code up their own solution and off we go. Inheritance broken.

Templates - well there be magic, but in fact, yet again, the ivory tower folks seem to come up with a pristine solution, and the folks that are shoveling $^&&^& in Dixie code something up they understand to get the job done.
