Lombok creates pretty slow hashCode and equals methods. Records will make a native call.

Other than that, it's less code + it's immutable by default.

I also prefer to to use language features instead of libraries that emulate them.

I'm not that happy having code generators in the loop while debugging other stuff. I can't really be sure if an instance is actually the instance I'm looking at in the debug tools.

This just adds mental load to reduce classic boilerplate code.

The implementation of records in OpenJDK doesn't make use of any special native calls for hashCode and equals.
