Yes. That's mosly the point.

Well, that's your POV, so what can I say ? It's indeed a bit hackish, 
and requires a couple minutes of attention the first time you see it. 
And you just have to learn it once !-)

Now I'd certainly prefer something like:

class A(object):
    @propget
    def a(self):
      return self._a
    @propset
    def a(self, val):
      self._a = val

But until there's something similar *builtin*, I'll stick to the @apply 
trick.
