This is one of the most stupid things camera faggots are prone to say.
One you understand your cameras settings, and what they are useful for, choose them according to the nature of your subject matter.

This. I shoot manual when I am taking deliberate shots that I specifically want to manipulate, if I am experimenting, or if automatic doesn't give me the look that I want. Other than that I just shoot automatic.
That being said, you should know how manual works, so that you can use it when you want to.

You don't have to use Manual exclusively until the day you die, but using it when you're starting out is really helpful. Using Manual mode hammers into your head what exactly each setting does and what settings need to be changed and how to suit your environment or desired outcome. And because you're more aware of your settings, it's easier to look back at your photos and think "I should have used a lower ISO" or "my shutter speed was too slow". It practically forces you to learn how to use your camera.

You're supposed to start with film.
