I don't think it is a bad language but I think it sometimes introduces unnecessary complexity: custom getters and setters on properties, will-set/did-set blocks and operator overriding (including precedence and associativity). Also, coming from a background where pointers are an obvious thing I do not understand why classes and structs need to be separate data types. None of these things is a bad per se but I do think they make the learning curve steeper and invite some level of abuse. Reminds me a lot of C++.
