You are adding multiple steps to something that an automatic does for you. But we choose to drive a manual cuz it's fun but it has its flaws. Like hill starts. Maybe this wasn't a problem before because if you rolled back into someone and your chrome bumpers touched... nothing happened. Now our cars are wrapped in fragile plastic and faster care needs taken

If you are worried about rolling back in to the car behind you, you have more to worry about while driving normally.
Maybe when you're first learning, but that shouldn't be a concern after you are used to driving.
