I don't care if people buy the AT car though.

I feel exactly the same way. I compromised with my wife once and bought an automatic 2002 Altima 3.5 SE while living in Washington DC (crazy heavy traffic).. I regretted it the day I bought the car and it was the last time I ever bought an automatic car for myself.
Even in ridiculous traffic, I say give me a manual... Like you, I actually enjoy shifting the car and having that feedback and control with the car.. I have been driving manuals for 22 years and hope I drive them for 40 more...
But I get why people buy autos and don't blame them..
