"In the grand scheme of things", not much.
Object-oriented programming techniques are much more for humans than
computers. If you're disciplined, and are the only person working on a
fairly small amount of code, OOP doesn't get you a whole lot. But those are
a lot of "ifs", and you don't get much help from the compiler.
Take a look at Xt/Motif (X-Window GUI) for a well-known example of doing OOP
in straight C.

Every now and then you're cruising right along and then all of a sudden
massive confusion sets in! It all seemed so clear just moments ago and now?
now(!) What was I thinking?? I hate it when this happens...
In the grand scheme of things, what is the practical difference between
implementing functionality in a plain function versus a class method? Don't
they accomplish the exact same thing except the latter associates the
functionality very specifically with a particular group of functionality?
