I agree. When coding, at first, I was glad to be able to snip the parens (makes code look cleaner), but then I came to the same conclusion - the illusory cleanness of code strikes back in the form of trouble with telling "something" and "do something" apart.

C# has proper properties. Why mess with the classic?
