Well it is of course a matter of personal preference when you are talking about hobby projects but IMO professional projects should really use it. As for it being slower/faster I wouldn't considered that an issue if I were selling a library for instance, I would gladly take any performance penalty to avoid hosing my users when I had to change something.
What would be nice is if the language supported a Property type field. The compiler could automatically notice this and inline the method code for the getter/setter. Also it could be implemented just like C#. IIRC when you don't supply specific code for a Property field the getter/setter are created for you by the compiler automatically. Also you can set the field to read-only/write-only/read-write.
