PyMel gives you easy access to them too:

And you should be using PyMel anyway if you're moving past MEL anyway.

PyMEL just wraps the maya.cmds.addAttr() as Jeremy mentions, which by
default does not return anything.
You'll have to recast to an Attribute class manually like this:
myNode.addAttr('test')
myAttr = myNode.test
It's possible to hack pymel.core.general.addAttr() if you want to return

PyMEL is all OOP. Every maya node type is wrapped by a class and has all
maya.cmds relevant to that object attached as methods to it. You can even
create custom sub-classes that inherit all methods and attach your own.
We use it for 99.9% of our tools. It only slows down a lot when iterating
That's why everybody uses maya.cmds and/or pymel.

Add something like this:

pymel.core.deleteUI( 'myTool_window' )

tool.show()

That is really about PyMEL subclassing. You can subclass just about any Maya

Well put Ofer.
IMHO, the speed of coding in PyMEL FAR outweighs the lack of speed in
script execution. 99% of the time, script execution speed is near
instantaneous, so PyMEL is the proper thing to use.

want to go back to

Sure. PyMel is a great learning tool for accessing Maya API. Though
Maya Python and PyMel are kind of the same thing. PyMel is just a
bajillion convenience functions wrapped around the sucky Maya Python
implementation, lots of 'em making API calls a lot easier.

if you're using 0.9.3 and 1.0 then you can just do:
