How many people are writing protein modeling or nuclear
simulation programs on MacOS?
/me raises hand.
Along with crystal statics simulations. BTW although my programs invariably run faster when written in C than they do in ObjC[1] (some of them have millions of iterations of a few lines of code), the code usually lends itself to ObjC-ifying so much that I tend to do so anyway.
I could use C++ but I don't like it.

[1]I once did my own profiling using the GNU runtime under i686 - each ObjC message call there (once cached) took 25 cycles to complete - i.e. find the code, jump to it, jump back. I'd imagine it'd be pretty similar on a PPC with the NeXT/Apple runtime. My method etc. is all archived on Google: comp.lang.objective-c
