Now we're just name calling ;) I tend to think that for the most successful company in the business to standardize on it is a pretty good testimony to it being well designed. I certainly have grown fond of it, there are some really nice features in it. But truly, xcode has played a large role in making the language seem good.
And that is thanks to Clang and LLVM. Xcode wouldn't be nearly as good on autocompletion, refactoring and static analysis to mention a few features.
Also it has started to catch up in later years, thinking of Objective-C 2. More recently blocks, some kind of operator overloading and more object literals.
