daily driving a manual is a piece of cake. Rush hour or not. I live, work and drive downtown; every car I have ever owned is a manual. If you are good at it, you won't have any issues.
And the starting from a stop on an incline is another poor reason. Learn to drive your car and you will have no issues. I daily drive a 2011 STi, which comes with hill assist. dumbest thing around; i turned it off within a day. Once you have a feel for your clutch's engagement point, no hill, mountain or slope should give you trouble.
ultimately, it comes down to this: do you want to drive a manual car or do you not care. "driving it in traffic" is not a con, that is the whole thing. If you do not like to drive your manual car when other cars are around you do not like to drive a manual car. The only person you need to satisfy is yourself.
