Actually, I have had to use IOKit quite a bit recently, and it _is_
intelligently laid out, and not quite a 'non-OO hell'.
But it is NOWHERE close to the ease of DriverKit. C++, no matter how
well laid out, is always a pain, and never truly object oriented. With
DriverKit, I was able to get a driver together for "X" piece of hardware
in around an hour. IOKit will never match this.

I get the impression that you haven't actually looked at IOKit. It
certainly is OO code, and the IOKit team was very careful to define
"Kernal C++", just like the DriverKit team had once defined "Kernal
Obj-C". They didn't make the switch to C++ without careful
consideration and design. FYI, the IOKit team is led by an ex-NeXT
engineer.
