The "old" way mentioned above isn't "old" IMO. You could use either 
(pi_based and extbased). And you can even mix them (not recommended ;-) ).

You don't have to be a IT guru to use Extbase. But I agree, you have to 
learn a lot of new programming paradigms. The key difference between the 
pi_based way and Extbase/FLOW3 is the kind of required knowledge. If you 
are an expert developing in pi_based extension. You are an expert in 
that particular domain. But if you learn the Extbase/FLOW3 way of 
developing extensions you have to learn more abstract concepts of 
software engineering (Patterns, MVC, DDD, DI etc.). And this is 
knowledge shared between very different communities. So, you are able to 
ask "How to model the domain of my extension?" in a Drupal Mailing list, 
too. ;-)
