Ech. Sound like a couple of Fortran programmers arguing Ratfor versus EFL.
C++ and Objective C are just kludges. Oh, they'll be around for a few years
yet, until the object oriented language world settles down. But they are
to C what Ratfor and EFL were to Fortran: something to give a modicum of
features to a language that isn't on the leading edge any more.

(don't get me wrong, I program in C pretty much, for the same reason you're
using ObjC or C++. But I don't fool myself arguing over the aesthetics of
a couple of preprocessors)
