Objective C is brilliant, it's one of the few things I actually enjoy about Apple's ecosystem.
This is because it stole ideas from Smalltalk, which is also brilliant. I doubt there are many people who hate it rationally, but I'd love to have a discussion with them instead of the people that have some knee-jerk reaction to the message-passing syntax.

Now maybe that melts away when you learn the language but I've heard enough complaints from people who have to get the feeling that's not entirely the case. Readability is probably the most important language feature.
