I think they fixed that in like beta 2 or something... Bob, you should try to 
keep up a bit more. ;) Just teasing.

That said, I always find it entertaining when I make some pronouncement about 
how CF needs this or that to work right and someone runs code that shows me 
up... it reminds me that nobody really knows everything (despite their 
insistence to the contrary heh).

As for the original question, in theory I find myself preferring to use 
instance data over getters, especially private getters... and yet the OCD side 
of me can't stand having a setter without its getter, and if there's a method I 
must call it rather than referring to variables directly. ;) So in practice I 
end up using private getters.

The performance hit for them is minimal, I have an Eclipse snippet for 
generating the get/set pair almost instantly, and in the long run having that 
getter there makes it much easier to refactor since you can just change the 
getter without having to change a bunch of references too. I "get" the idea of 
using instance data directly, it just doesn't sit as well as the alternative...
