OOP programming offers several advantages and two that I can remember at 
the moment are:

An app class can be extended to add new functionality.

An app class can be used as a template. I try to create classes that can 
be imported into a new project. I suppose another advantage is code 
reusability.

"Lost in the weeds" is accurate.

Not at all accurate. If I don't ask any further questions about custom 
widgets then that means that I can take it from here. In other words 
muddle along until something works as expected.

I like things be correct. Just because something works doesn't mean that 
it's correct, and I often struggle with that.

Anyway, thanks again David for your advice.
