Why do people get so pretentious about driving manual vs automatic?

Its usually the die-hard drivers who think if you drive an automatic then you're not a real driver.

Driving a manual is fun... IF you're just out on a joyride. Anything else I would much rather have an automatic and make the machine do the work.

It's about the driving experience. Old fashioned views are based on the old automatics which were not very good. New autos are actually better than most manuals as they save fuel and make driving more accessible for more people.

They're bitter that there's absolutely nothing interesting about them.
