What you write about is certainly provides instant gratification but
what Delphi or Eiffel does (or .NET does with custom properties) isn't
very OO at all!  Mutator and accessors methods involve return types;
true objects don't return values, through their messaging they know
where the data lives.  In the case of Delphi, where ComponentCount is
used, 99 times out of 100, there is usually an if-then-else hell which
goed along for the ride as the developer has to test for component
type as they iterate though the collection of components on the
form... all very smelly and not better in the long run.

With regard to ease, that's arguable given the complexity of the
project.  A programmer who is liberal in their abuse of mutator/
accessors can easily get carried away with classes to hold all of the
offending methods.

What I wrote about earlier is going to be scrapped once the schedule
supports some serious refactoring.  I just needed a band aid in the
meantime.
