This may just be because of when I learned to program, but I find that writing object oriented code makes everything easier to understand. The stuff you need to do with C where you're passing around structs and state and pointers usually looks pretty ugly to me. Error handling is a pain in any language. "This thing that should NEVER fail just failed, now what?" If you're not in a recoverable state, realistically, what can you do? I know that constructors can fail, but it's pretty abnormal for that to happen. I like the way objective-c handles it. Since everything is dynamically allocated and you can just see if the object exists to find out if it works. Lots of methods have an extra NSError parameter that you can use if you need more information.
