Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Finally Waving The White Flag to Objective-C 2.0, here is a quick summary:

I've been fighting a very private moral war against Objective-C 2.0 ever since it was released, but I've finally given in and as of a couple weeks ago all my new projects are being written with all the new syntactic sugar. This post looks at the small shoves that finally got me over the edge.

I think a lot of people would write the first, because it is a universal construct whose syntax is identical across the majority of popular programming languages (Java, ObjC, Perl, JavaScript, etc). For people who use ObjC but use a number of other languages, it is easier to reuse what they know. Not better, mind you, but easier.
