For me, i am mostly in AP, however for shots i pre-plan, i will use Manual.
Depend on situation. Night shots mostly manual, other times when there is enough lights AV.
Manual for me while I'm trying to get a better understanding. I'm not going afraid of it.
Nikon, D750, D5000, 35mm f/1.8, 18-55mm & 55-200mm kit lens,
Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, Sigma 120-400mm, Sigma 150-600S, SB-910, Metz mecablitz 58 AF-2
Manfrotto 680B Mono + 234RC tilt, 055XPROB + 804RC2.
''Professional'' (the word between Quotation marks because i'm not near so good as i wanna be.) i useManual only.
Bat that doesn't mean i'm 'allergic' for the automatic mode or any other mode for that matter.
I gues you just get use to doing wat suits you best and depending on circumstances why make it difficult?

Manual for me, I struggled to get the hang of it at first, but now I don't even think about it. The more photos I took, the easier it got & I like the control it gives me. I will admit though that I am often guilty of forgetting the ISO factor & having the odd "camera shake" shot that could have been avoided....
It would be interesting, but impossible, to do a survey of the time spent in PP by the Manual Moders and and the AP/SP shooters added to the time shooting the image, and then also comparing the results with the same eyes.
It's the pop-up toaster for me if available.
