Lord knows the only reason why I haven't jumped on the iOS gravy train is Objective-C.

It's actually kinda nice once you get used to it.

[imissmyjuno → _rjlt]

as long as you use that one IDE for it yes?

[pooriaazimi → imissmyjuno]

You can use JetBrain's AppCode if you dislike (despise) Xcode :) It's written in Java, but at least it doesn't crash every couple of days (possibly corrupting(!) .xcodeproject files).

And the Modern ObjC (with ARC, @properties, blocks, new @literals, awesome and useful clang errors, etc.) is much, much better than it was around iPhone OS 3.0! The signal/noise ratio of a typical iOS app is now maybe twice that of an app written in the bad old days.

I use vim for writing code, and the IDE for a couple tasks like running the simulator.

Objective-C gets a bad wrap.

[rurounijones → dynamic99]

Off-topic.

rap, not wrap. Quite an interesting history http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2012/05/its-bad-rap-...

[jablan → rurounijones]

I believe it's rep, not rap. Rep as a shorthand for reputation: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/rep

[mistercow → jablan]

It's not. There is also a phrase "bad rep", but it is distinct.
