I'm trying to understand the design considerations of the team that created the method Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.

It could have been a static property, very much like System.Web.HttpContext.Current. After all, the returned value should not change once available. So it's more like a property of the current running process.

I know that any property in .NET is a syntactic sugar to getter/setter methods. But that's the exact reason for using a property rather than an explicit getter method.

Or maybe there is there something I'm missing here?

What do you think?
