When I was learning IB that was the same question I had.  I did not answer  
it until I learned Objective-C and reading an article in "The Journal of  
OOP" magazine and the article is "Why I need Objective-C?".  That's  
probably going to answer all your whys.  I understand you perfectly since  
I asked myself the same question, but take the time to learn Objective-C  
you'll love it.

I love Objective-C, it's easy, simple, powerful and what's most important:  
"Thanks to Objective-C we have IB and Distributed Objects so nicely  
integrated into Objective-C.  Not possible with C++.
