For what it's worth, I'm in the "pass everything as an argument" camp (and really functional programming in general), and loathe the 'hidden state' setup, for the following reasons:
1. You are hardcoded to a particular implementation (i.e. no dispatching)
2. You always end up needing a second object, no matter much you think you don't think you will.
3. The majority of the program becomes impure
4. Things that access global objects are way more complex to try and test
5. Everything is compile-time constant (i.e. no creating or deleting things dynamically).
