I do, without good reason. I never programmed for iOS. I learned it for fun and now it's my favorite language. I use IBM Kitura for server-side development because of it's well designed API.

The ecosystem is indeed the greatest downside. A lot of the existing libraries are also polluted with UIKit code making them unusable on Linux. Just recently wanted to use an existing API client of some social network, but couldn't, because it contained UIKit code. Forking it and fleshing out the parts needed feels kinda wrong.
