I never saw a benefit in using Lombok, but I did run into issues with it. As it works outside the compiler, you are basically writing Java+Lombok. And as the article says, with an IDE and a recent JDK there is really no benefit provided by Lombok.

I disagree. It looks leaner. But the code is still there and because it's invisible, it requires you to remember more.
