[Newbies] Is it generally considered better practice for an object to access its own variables via its getter methods?

[Andy Burnett]

I noticed that the Seaside tutorial has code such as:

html div class: 'menu';  with: self menuComponent.

Whereas the Scriptaculous demo code does things like this:

html paragraph id: 'position'; with: position.


I.e. they didn't bother adding (or using) a getter for position.  Who is
right, or doesn't it matter, or is there another reason why it would be
written differently?
