I am using simple class properties facility for some time and found it quite useful. Actually it's nothing fancy - simple helper classes to eliminate repetitive setter/accessor methods (and no need for language extensions).
If you are making designs that would normally have a lot of getters and setters, it suggests that they may have an insufficient level of abstraction. Of course, that isn't neccessarily the case -- but it does seem to be the rule in my code. I personally don't have a need for this facility and I don't think I want a library that would encourage that style.
I don't see what getters and setters have to do with levels of abstraction. Needless to say I see nothing wrong with the style that uses properties, but since you didn't say what bothers you about that style I can't answer for why you don't like it. Care to explain ?
