You always compare "implicit getter/settter" with "explicit getter/setter".
Just a thought of mine is to compare "implicit getter/setter" with
public variables.

One of the few reasons to use explicit getters/setters in AS2 is as

Just thought of another use for properties: component parameters.
With properties you can do something like this:

return _percent;
}
public function set percent(value:Number):Void {
_percent = normalizePercentage(value);
}
private var _perc
Get/set is useful when creating a visual object class, as well as for
setting private variables on set. It's also useful when you don't want
the variable that is being set to be getted, as well.
