For myself, I can drive both. When I was dd'ing my old swapped accord, sometimes I wished I had an auto. When I got my tC, sometimes I wish I had a manual (though a valve body from IPT makes the auto shift a lot better). Regardless of what car you get, I think there will always be a question of what would it have been if I had gotten ____ transmission instead. There's benefits to both.
I get insanely bored driving an automatic. I haven't owned an automatic car since 2000. So while a lot of people may contemplate "what if"... I flat out refuse to buy one.

Now, there are definitely some people who NEED to drive an auto...for the safety of everyone around them. At least until the cars that drive themselves are developed...
