writing a property directly in the field is a hack
No, it's guaranteeing future compatibility, because by using a property you ensure that you can later on replace the setter with a procedure if necessary, without breaking existing source code (at least in FPC 2.3.1; FPC 2.2.x misses several checks, allowing you to do all sorts of things with properties directly mapped to fields that should not be possible).
