Hi, I'm still in the middle. I used to use getMyVariable setMyVariable for everything, now I usually use public variables for entity/value objects. I still hate not being able to see whether something is a variable or function, so for everything else than very simple objects I prefer setMyVariable getMyVariable instead of get set. I find it way easier to read back my code that way, so it depends on whether I know whether I am going to have to read it back or not ;).
