I love ObjC, it's the epitome of pragmatism. Fantastic compatibility with C/C++, malleable enough for GUI glue, wonderful libraries (I love NSCalendar & friends). My clients still accept ObjC for new projects, and they'd be crazy not to, considering how much the Swift 3 migration has cost early adopters. Given my current pessimism about Apple technologies, I think I'll just milk my ObjC skills until everyone goes Swift-only and then look for work in a portable programming environment.
