I'd argue that engineers provide quality apps for iOS despite Objective-C, and not because of it.
How many iOS apps have you worked on?
Except the "old thing" is practically from the 1980s.
C is even older. As is the Unix model (programs, shell, POSIX) that Linux users swear by.
I'd agree that Objective-Cs deficiencies are in the C parts. The good "Objective" parts are being retained in Swift.
I'd still rather have Objective-C even with the C baggage than Java. I did a course once that used Java as the language, and I hated it.
Anyhow, this is rapidly becoming an obsolete debate with Swift 1.0 approaching rapidly.
