They’re all fun and games until you’re in stop go traffic. I agree though I miss driving a manual. Also they were easier to work on and tended to be cheaper to fix. That might not be the case anymore considering you’re pretty much guaranteed to to have to special order parts.
I guess it depends on the car, but most modern cars it’s NBD to drive manual in stop-and-go traffic. There are a handful of models that can make it a pain (e.g. Challenger, Nissan Z), but Honda and Mazda and many others are easy peasy even in dense traffic.
I actually found stop and go traffic jams with a manual easier. All i needed was the clutch and id use it to drive the average speed of the stop and go traffuc jam, even if it was 0.5km/h. Cant do that on my automatic, it will speed up to a set amount of km if i release the break and press the gas even a little.
Edit: i will admit i have big feet and driving is more foot work for me than it is leg work. My legs barely move while driving, not even to go from gas to break, so it might be easier for me, idk

Stop and go traffic with a manual after working out legs is something special
