You can learn Objective-C in about 5 hours, true (probably less, if you know C and C++). The point being that Obj-C without NSObject (and cocoa framework) is not a big deal. The "good things" come from cocoa and Interface Builder. And you will need more than a few hour for cocoa.
Obj-C by itself is C with a very thin OOP layer (and an associated frankly strange syntax for calling methods). Cocoa is a very interesting programming framework with wonderful programming tools.
