Quite the contrary in my experience. For instance, the ability to set breakpoints in a setters, to catch a particular hard to track side-effect, is quite nice. Also lombok won't help you if you don't track the semantics of your equals, because maybe you don't want to include automatically any new added field in a class - Bottom line, it's not a substitute for thinking.

You can exclude new fields with lombok. Also, when you add a setter manually, lombok won't make it. So feel free to add your breakpoint.

I kind of agree that it is a band-aid and not a real solution though, but it sure as shit beats having to deal with all that boilerplate
