There have always been heated arguments about which language is better, but not many languages get as many "I don't like it" blog posts as Swift (maybe Go). It's probably just because people are usually free to choose a language, but are getting their arm twisted to use Swift on iOS. That's fine for people who like Swift, but leaves no option but complain to the others.

Before Swift was introduced, the iOS dev ecosystem was naturally composed of people who were comfortable enough with Objective-C. Then Apple suddenly released a language that reversed almost every single design choice. Of course that was going to tear the community apart.
