You'll never catch me doing something that can be automated away, this includes shifting gears in a car.
But a car is just a tool to me, like a cordless drill, so i'm sure I don't get it.
Pretty much every consumer in every auto market agrees with you. There are downsides to manual, you can grind a transmission's gears to dust in a couple of days if you do it wrong, you really can't trust someone to drive your car at all, you are much more actively driving, so you're paying more attention, but you're also more stressed, if you're in bumper to bumper traffic, you will have to do the most difficult aspects of driving every few seconds to inch along for a half hour or more and that's REALLY shitty, if you need to stop on any kind of hill, you have to be aware your gonna need half a car length or more to get into gear where your just going to be falling down that hill while you convince yourself you don't need to panic and you will catch the gear before you're past the point of no return. You get better mileage, you get better control, you pay attention more, you focus more, but it's not all roses, the risks usually aren't worth it for modern car buyers.
Starting on a slope isn't particularly hard, you have to make use of the handbrake
somebody failed to read the meme i guess, it's literally right there
