The only argument I'm buying into is this one...

[someInstance doSomethingWithObject:a andAnotherParam:b];

It just reads beautifully. Otherwise working with Objective-C was like pulling teeth at times. It had been a long time since I had to write so much code to get such simple things done.

He said: there is no need. In Obj-C the selectors should document themselves.
