This is a question for people more experienced with Python, but everybody feel free to answer if you feel like you can provide something decent to the discussion.

Also feel free to explain why you feel that way and your experiences with Python and the paradigms.

I use python for data sciences (kinda) and never write any classes or something object oriented, but given that dataframes are the bread and butter of everything I do, I guess I work in a object oriented workflow?

    Yeah that's a great point -- the dataframe is in a sense a class or object standardized for data analysis. Its flexibility (like being able to store arrays or dicts even) obviates the need in most cases for a user-written class.
