Objective-C was my first "real" language, started working with it with almost no knowledge of C to make some Mac Apps on Rhapsody and later Mac OS X. Nice documentation and an awesome first language, not least due to the lovely Foundation and AppKit frameworks and the nice UIs of ProjectBuilder and InterfaceBuilder at the time. It was pure fun writing software in that environment.

I felt OPENSTEP/Cocoa was so far ahead of other frameworks. The ease of Visual Basic but the power of Visual C++

Kind of, you missed on Delphi and C++ Builder.

Pity that Borland management has messed up and nowadays only enterprise developers care about them.
