That's the thing -- I'm not there yet.  I had a 24-hour sense of clarity 
and a "change your life" feeling when I finally understood the 
fundamental concept of OO programming (why was that so hard to 
understand at one time? in retrospect it's so simple), perhaps someday 
I'll have the same experience with lambda.  But until the lightbulb goes 
off in my head, I'm willing to hear any arguments for or against.

How does it change your life?
