> How do you expect properties to interact with IDEs?
An IDE can highlight non-basic properties in a different colour from basic properties, or underline them or something. That would be difficult for an editor to do as part of normal syntax highlighting.
This is also a problem when reviewing changes through github-like workflows, and even more with patch-based workflows. It's probably either impossible or very difficult to fix that ever.
