automatic vs manual transmission is an odd debate to have. Why argue only about the transmission? Why not have cars with manual ignition? If you dislike machines making your life easier, stop driving all together.
Because the manual transmission changes the entire experience of driving it, whereas a manual choke or ignition only changes starting it.
Some people (including myself) just find it more enjoyable to drive a manual. I feel more connected to the car, like its doing exactly what I want it to, and I feel like I've done something when I've driven home rev matching gears perfectly.
It's just about preference at the end of the day, but I do find manuals more fun.
