I know a lot of people hate on MT citing traffic, but I've driven in traffic for years with a MT and it doesn't bother me one bit. I'm like you, it's simple just to sit in neutral and ease into gear for a little forward progress. It's more footwork, but so is driving a stick in general.Its rare that I prefer and auto over MT even in dense bumper to bumper traffic. I can control the car easier with the clutch than always having to stab the brakes to stop rolling forward. There have only been a few times with hour + backups where I started tiring of MT and wishing for an auto.
