the "bloat" is only in your source code, not in the generated code.
Is it worth the deal?
You actually make the reader/programmer harder to understand when you 
are realling use a a C array with some smart pointer arithmetic and 
when you are using an NSArray/NSMutableArray.
I vastly personaly vastly prefer the clear distinction: the same goes 
for struct access vs. properties.
Matter of personal taste of course, but especially in sometimes 
low-level code where C and Obj-C are mixed, the distinction increases 
readability.

my two cents.
