I've been senior for quite some time now, I know when to use what (most of the time) and yeah, inheritance has its place, though I don't use it often because most of the time it simply isn't the right thing to do.
In my experience, inheritance is really handy in the right situation. But far more often, inheritance is just a quick way to code yourself into a corner or just a waste of mental energy in the wrong place.
