I enjoyed every day I worked with Apple ObjC frameworks. Once you learned the naming conventions, you could guess names even in new frameworks. It made it easy to think in that code.

@kocienda from what I've tried of SwiftUI it really breaks this.... it's in the first sentence of the description of this old WWDC session... "Cocoa and Cocoa Touch feature highly consistent design patterns throughout their APIs. A pattern used in one context is readily available in many other contexts. Build better apps more quickly by understanding these patterns along with the motivations behind their design." https://nonstrict.eu/wwdcindex/wwdc2010/138/

@kocienda one additional thought, I feel that this kind of consistency and the ability to write software with a high level of intuition is really important for generalists (or as Wolf Rentzsch might say 'the great software authors of old') to create and innovate.
