One area I think Objective-C to be very great and that you haven't touched is for creating stable APIs. In Objective-C, contrary to D and C++, you don't have to recompile every dependency when reordering, adding and removing member functions in a class. In 64-bit Objective-C 2.0, you can even add variables to a class without care about recompiling derived classes. Compare that to D, where exposing a class as a public API will either force you to not change much that class, or force your users to recompile every time you make such a change.
If you use interfaces, you can add member fields without needing to recompile clients.
