Actually, the problem is MT drivers don't just express their opinions for preferring them, they extend their opinion to making them some part of a the master transmission race and that anyone that has a different opinion is somehow a lesser part of the community.
Look I'm more "transmission fluid" and have driven both types for 100s of thousands of miles. Frankly, it is to the point where a MT is an "automatic" for me because I don't think about it when driving so it adds very little to the driving experience in 99% of the driving I do. If there is a car I want and it has an MT then great, if it doesn't that's fine too. When buying a different car it just depends on my mood.
I bought the FRS with an AT because its my daily driver, and I liked the "novelty" of how good the AT is, allowing me to play "racer" when I want and "grandpa" when I don't.
That said I would by a CTS-V MT or other wagon tomorrow for the exact same reason, because it is different, and hits the same coolness factor for me.
In the end as we move away from ICE to alternative fuels the transmission isn't going to matter anyway.
