Obviously you have never been stuck in traffic. There is nothing more
boring than constantly shifting from first to neurtal and back hundreds
of times in a journey of a few miles.
I still maintain that driving an automatic is superior in every way
except a minute difference in fuel mileage.
I also think its much safer having two hands on the wheel at all times.
