Tom,
 
In a typical persisted class (mapped to a sql db), you can have 20+ fields
 
=> 20 getters + 20 setters
 
 
my "flat" notation =
      20 * (2 + 1)                => 60 lines.
 
if you kill the white line I add for readability,
                                  => 40 lines.
 
IDEA default notation = 40 * 5    => 200 lines.
 
Do I need to say more?
 
Alain
