Yes.  I have noticed before that you have good taste.  :-)

The only Objective-C variant I have experience with is the one included with
the Developer Tools in Mac OS X.  If I have understood correctly, this dialect
is inherited from NextStep, and is probably closer to the GCC flavor than to
POC.
Purists probably don't like it much.

I haven't used it much, though.  I intend to learn Objective-C and Cocoa in
order to implement an UCI-compatible GUI for my program in Mac OS X.  You cannot
expect the average Mac user to compile install xboard; I have to give them
something more user-friendly.  :-)
