Then don't judge a book by how it sounds. :) Having worked with both 
garbage collected and non-garbage collected, I can tell you that 
Objective-C using retain/release is one of the fastest languages for 
getting something out the door. In fact, it very quickly becomes 
second nature, and now with Objective-2.0 properties, the bulk of the 
grunt work around setting up your accessors and mutators properly is 
gone. With or without garbage collection, Cocoa is a very fast-working 
set of tools.
