As far as I understand, [Foo new] is exactly equivalent to [[Foo alloc] init]

Correct.

Chaining alloc and init is just the in vogue convention as far as I know. I've been told that -new used to be a popular way of doing it back in the days of NeXTStep.

There is noting wrong with using it though.
