Looking for opinions on automatic vs stick

We're well into automated driving with the advent of adaptive cruise control, ABS, stability control, traction control, parking assist and throttle management. You need to weigh the advantages and decide if you want to delegate some of your tasks to automation or continue with the older technology until it becomes extinct or obsolete.

While I enjoy shifting manually, I have not found a manual that has the capacity of the counterpart automatic. I still have other vehicles that are manual shift so I can get my "fix" if I suffer withdrawal.
