I’m a computer geek and I always look at it like a computer.
Is a Mac or Windows easier to use? Arguably yes.
Yet I use Linux anyway because I like the full control despite the trade offs. And some tradeoffs I actually prefer
I could just click install on Windows and Mac (and on Linux), or I can download a program and manually put each of it’s constituent files into the correct place in order to run it.
I’m a computer guy and view an automatic as just that: Automation to do away with a needless repetitive task. Not to say that I missed your analogy, but “full control” is an awfully overblown way to put it when it comes to a manual unless you’re doing NASCAR or something. Our programmers and engineers know what they’re doing. Your car can automatically shift gears and do more than well enough to get you to work and back.
