I probably wouldn't choose Objective-C, based on the same reason you said, that most software development hasn't used Objective-C.  However, Objective-C is 100% compatible with regular C, so theoretically you could make use of software libraries with C interfaces with Objective-C - and there are quite a bit of software libraries with C interfaces.  You can also do things like write Python & Perl modules in C, so I'd think you could do the same with Objective-C.  Objective-C just doesn't seem to be a popular choice.
