- There are two obvious usage cases for decorators: static and class methods;

I'm not sure these two points are accurate. There's definitely a large middle ground between staticmethod/classmethod and PyObjC's use cases.

- People which want the powerful decorators don't care about the syntax, as far as the feature is implemented;

I care deeply about the syntax, but I can accept any of the choices that have made Guido's final cut.
