Exactly, I still fail to understand the point of this "feature", function points have worked fine for ages, but then I never understood any religion, and that is what Apple seems to be all about.
Did you even read the article or any of the examples? There are plenty of things that you can "do" with blocks that you can't with just function pointers. That's besides the fact that some of them are more elegantly expressed with blocks that look sort of ugly with function pointers.
I understand the argument that blocks don't "feel" C-like, but the argument that you can do everything with just using function pointers is BS.
