My take - for what it’s worth? Driving a manual car quickly (and efficiently) takes more skill than it does to drive an auto quickly. Perhaps better put, it takes less skill to drive an auto quickly and efficiently. For my driving experience, I’m interested in honing all skills, that includes manual shifting.
My daily is an auto, but my fun cars will be manual as long as I can find them to purchase.

Always enjoyed driving the 3 on the tree back on the farm. Agreed on all other points.
Only performance auto I will own is a dedicated 1/4 mile vehicle that runs 9's or quicker.
