Throw it in D and not have to think about it? Having to think about it goes away. I have to think about driving autos, telling myself to keep my left foot on the footrest and not to press the clutch.

I never understood the traffic argument. In an auto you have to constantly hold the brake, same thing as holding the clutch. you can put either in neutral and ebrake for extended standstills.
Ask people who have injured knees or arthritis and they will tell you that AT is absolutely easier than MT. This has been confirmed by even the strongest supporters of MT. So I think we can say that AT is easier for commuting and the MT is more engaging and therefore potentially more fun.
