Not quite a counterpoint, but UIKit and the iOS version of FoundationKit have changed quite a bit since the early days.
Go back to the days of OPENSTEP/Yellow Box/early versions of Cocoa, and it's like travelling in time to 10 years before you were born and visiting your home town. It all looks right, but it's all so, so wrong. It's Back to the Future without the feeling that Marty McFly will erase his own existence.
Moreso when you try using an ObjC runtime that isn't based on the work by NeXTSTEP!
