I have not used the RestKit Block wrapper yet, but I will be shortly. I'm actually removing ASIHTTPRequest from my App and replacing with RestKit. Not because it's bad, ASIHTTP* is quite stable - but it isn't evolving. While many other libraries, like RestKit, wrap NSURLConnection and so reap the benefits of Apples continuing enhancements to it, ASIHTTP* uses CFNetwork. Apple isn't investing a lot of effort in improving preexisting Core Foundation classes (like CFNetwork). Also, since ASIHTTP* depends on CF, it's going to be a royal pain to migrate to ARC when it's available; I wan't the benefits of ARC as soon as possible.
