I've only just started learning iOS development (Swift, not Objective-C) and although initially the code looks quite complicated, Xcode more than makes up for it. Its auto-complete functionality makes it very fast to write these rather lengthy lines of code. Plus it's a really descriptive way of writing code.

Also, like with many languages, once you understand the basic syntax it doesn't look as complicated anymore. (First time you came across Ruby it might have looked quite complicated as well).
