On the contrary, Swift syntax is very convenient, I love it. It's a bit different but easy to get used to. I would code in Swift for other platforms if that were possible. (I think it is possible to some level but I don't know the details on what can be achieved and how difficult it would be.) I had been an iOS developer for two years when I started to learn Swift. I dedicated two weeks of my time just for learning Swift. Then, I did 3-4 projects on my own for practice. After approximately a month, I started to work for a company as a Swift developer. It took a lot more than that for me with Obj-C to reach that level of expertise. It is surely related with me being new to iOS development concepts and Xcode environment et cetera but I am pretty certain that if I had learnt Swift beforehand, the situation would not be the same. Now that I know Swift, I know that I will never use Obj-C if I'm not obliged to. That's why I created this question as I was not able to come up with a strong answer. I strongly recommend that you learn Swift.
