    is very hard to create a good inheritance structure that does not devolve over time as new requirements get added

    That’s such an important point. Whatever else folks take from this thread, I hope they catch that.

    And I’ll pile on to add - more layers is more risk. One layer of inheritance is a lot easier to keep maintaining than four of them.

      And if you only have one layer then why not just use interfaces/traits? Which are a vastly better design than inheritance.
