There was opposition to programming languages too, since assembly languages are "more efficient". Object Oriented programming has introduced "inefficiencies" too, at the hardware level, but the extra efficiencies at the software level more than pays for the difference. I do agree that design patterns can be misused, both in programming and elsewhere. You have to do the analysis and then apply the patterns. I think they are most useful to learn from, not to apply blindly.
