Did you even read the article or any of the examples? There are plenty
of things that you can "do" with blocks that you can't with just
function pointers. That's besides the fact that some of them are more
elegantly expressed with blocks that look sort of ugly with function
pointers.

I understand the argument that blocks don't "feel" C-like, but the
argument that you can do everything with just using function pointers
is BS.
