Subject:  only changes that add value

Why can't there be more thought placed in features that add value or add to the langauge as opposed to features that might make things VERY slightly convienent.

My IDE can generate getters/setters, it can also refactor getters/setters, it handles auto completion of getters/setters and finds where in code the getter/setter is used. When i implement a property all i have to do is type: private String name; and then generate the getters/setters. How much development time is property support going to save me? Note much, hence my vote for not important!

6 ways to do the same thing will only confuse new developers why would I possibly want that?
