Is it wrong to use point syntax as a getter?

Question

I know that. is a shortcut to the setter. Sometimes I use this code:

cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"this is row %i", indexPath.row];

This works as expected, but I was wondering if it’s better (or rather, perhaps?) To write

cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"this is row %i", [indexPath row]];

Or, in other words, you should use the point syntax only with the = operator, for example

aTextField.text = @"whatever";

Any links / documents are welcome, thanks :)

PS. If you do not see the tag, I'm talking about iOS here.
