I agree. With XCode's powerful autocomplete, I don't have to remember all the methods. In fact, you can guess the names a lot of the times due to their verbose and descriptive naming conventions, and XCode will help you along the way. I'm a Rubyist, it's my primary language and I'd love to use it over Objective-c. But I'm also starting really like Obj-c, and right now it's the best thing out there for iOS because of XCode. If you want to learn how to make iOS apps, learn Objective-c. Or at the very least learn it first. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.
