Another reason NOT to use ObjC its because it is not portable. I will

This is a common misconception. Objective-C is highly portable. It is
part of gcc and therefore runs on just about any platform that gcc
runs. Furthermore, there are alternative compilers that spit out plain
C code which can be compiled with any other C compiler.
As to libraries, two open-source implementations of the Foundation
exist, libFoundation and gstep-base. Both are also highly portable.
They can be, have been and are being used to produce commercial-grade
software systems.
