I don't get the feeling you've really given it a fair chance, or tried to understand why it does what it does.

Swift really is much more readable than Objective-C, too.

I have on both counts. I tried it a couple times and hated it. I've read the book and others justifications for it, but disagree.

Swift is absolutely less readable than Objective-C. Objective-C is known for its verboseness, which makes it easy to read. Swift has all kinds of easy ways to make it less readable, like the question mark. There is no way one can objectively argue Swift is more readable than Objective-C.
