Yes, I do this. Typing is not much work for me.
My main focus is on *readable* code (effort for writing is of low priority).
And the 2 lines show very clear what realy happens.

I can also omit the second line and set a value later
while with an Add-function I have to specify a value
for the new array element even if I just want to extend the array only.
I have finer control about what happens.

I never use classes.
I like dynamic arrays very much.
