It won't surprise anyone to learn that I don't agree. To me, this is like saying, "Before you learn Objective-C, learn C++ so you understand how horrible things *could* be."

ARC transforms Objective-C into something much more like a modern object-oriented language. In fact, it's downright delightful. Just because we all lived for over a decade with the horror and tedium of manual memory management doesn't mean you have to.
