I don't get what the noise is about here. Millions of lines of objc code have been written without mass confusion of how to init objects. It might look good on paper, but in practice telling people "this is the designated initializer" seems to be more than sufficient to sort things out. And being able to initialize an object with anything (or, remember, to have anything initialize an object) only adds to the flexibility and dynamic character of the language.
