I'd also prefer immutables.org over lombok, because it cleverly gets by without changing the way sourcecode is turned into bytecode. All it ever does is generate additional class files that add the boring stuff. If lombok says "we can have all this awesome stuff if we break the rules a bit", immutables.org answers "we can have almost as much of we don't".
