"The same results" from the point of view of the final product: features, performance, simplicity, etc. Not from the pov of
effort spent in development/maintenance.

Anyway, as with anything else, inheritance is not a panacea. But I still didn't see an application/system/framework/product
where I inheritance cannot be used. To what extent... that's a different problem. :)
