There’s also no valid reason for the non-use of brackets, is there? They’re just different. It didn’t take long for them to feel natural to me when I started coding in ObjC, and the named method parameters that go with them make ObjC code (in my eyes) delightfully self-documenting.

definitely, and for people like me, who started coding when they were young (on mac/ios) there was no bias for or against such syntax (i also learned c++, and java at the same time and have no special love or hate for those syntaxes either)
i think alot of these "i hate this syntax" issues are people just not liking what they were not used to...
