I always shy away from syntax sugars. If I like a private field with setter and getter I write it into my code. The most of the code is written by autocomplete and if I do now like to se it I just fold it away. I have control over the naming and I can set breakpoints into the getter/setter to trap all those case where I somehow write rubbish. I also have the benefit of seeing the field in my debugger and can access them for hydration without the setter. I see no real use in such new keywords. Just my 2 cents

field doesn't stop this.

The debugger could still show it. The backing field is still there.

[Surac]

the text says the backing variable is hidden from debugger by attribut, isn't it?

[viraptor]

That's why I wrote could. You can also use an IL postprocessor to get rid of the attribute.
