Poll: do you use @property semantics?

Recently Walter has been wanting to remove language features that 
don't need to be kept to simplify the language.

It seems everybody agrees that binary literals are not a worthy 
candidate for removal, but one thing that I kept thinking about 
was @property. As far as I know, hardly anyone actually uses its 
semantic behaviors, and the ones that it does have which are 
incomplete are special cases that don't benefit us all that much.

I was going to post this yesterday, but it turns out I am not 
alone in thinking this can be removed safely (can be swapped to a 
UDA to prevent code breakage without any language additions).

So, who uses @property semantics?
