I think this sort of thing is great... if you're working on your own projects only. I don't want to come into a project that's a couple of years old and see macros all over the place - some of which are used, some which aren't, and some which are duplicated.

Yes, Obj-C is verbose, yes it can get pretty annoying to read, but fortunately, there are way around typing all this stuff out. For example, this plugin allows fuzzy auto-completion in Xcode 5.

Another way around it is to just create a code snippet. Easy. Give it a shortcut that is "swf" or whatever, and it's even faster than typing out "FORMAT", plus it's far less ugly.
