It appears to be personal, but for many the answer is yes... that's why RubyMotion is a big deal.

RubyMotions looks even uglier for me. It's just like someone stripped all the beauty of Ruby with libraries that weren't meant to pair with it.

The Objective-C syntax doesn't look strange to me, yet its verbosity make the whole picture more difficult to grasp than in Ruby in my opinion. It's somehow like difference between a document and a bullet point reppresentation of it.

However, I haven't made my mind yet about RubyMotion. There are some propositions for it and some against and a lot has to come in the next weeks. Let's see what will happen.

Note: I have been coding in Objective-C for two years and in Ruby for 1-2 months.
