I don't think those are the same "problems". "Design patterns" is about code, not solving business problems. To stay in the well known books in OOP, DDD would be about solving business problems.
"business problems"? I feel like the goal posts are moving here. EOD all I'm saying is I didn't really understand or appreciate OO until I'd read and digested DP. Until you've at least covered those basics it's hard to have an opinion on whether OOP is crap or not in my view. But maybe I've just been indoctrinated by it.
