C'mon. We don't need a g++ vs. Obj.-C war here.
After extensive experience with both, I feel that there are perfectly
valid reasons for wanting BOTH. Each has its own strengths and infact
can complement each other.  

g++ has operator overloading, looks more like C, and has less overhead.
For the same reason that the efficiency is higher, its object-oriented
features are less extensive.  I would use g++ for writing a low-level
behavioral or logic simulator but would use Obj.-C for NeXT gui
programs.
