Firstly I said syntactical sugar as an argument against only properties. But really is scala so much better because of "xxx.property" as opposed to "xxx.property()". On the other hand closures are actually a bit more expressive with something new. Sure maybe underneath theres a lot of synthesized stuff to make closures work on the JVM, but its a bit more than a lousy getter/setter reading/writing from a field. Its more interesting when people give real reasons rather than something like "simple properties" in their discussions of how much better Scala is vs Java.
