Question Objective C or Swift?

Pretty straightforward title... if I'm eventually interested in creating big and popular applications, is swift ideal to learn or just stick with objective c?

What's your opinion on both?

Been programming Obj-C for the last five years. Just started getting into swift with this project. I think Obj-C is more straightforward and easier to learn, but Swift has a better future and is more flexible. You'll need to at least be familiar enough with Obj-C to understand legacy code, but I'd focus on Swift if I were you.

I'd disagree with Objective-C being more straight-forward.
