Honestly though I'm excited by getters and setters. I always disliked calling them explicitly in Backbone—it feels like a hack.
On the other hand, there's something nice to be said about explicit setters (you might not expect events to fire when it doesn't look like a function call).
Still, I'd rather have real looking code than a bunch of xxx.set('propA', yyy.get('propB')) nonsense.
