Hey whatever works for you. I prefer MF lenses and the way they affect my
picture taking. Most AF lenses don't have the right feel for me.

Oh god... not this again...
I'm not going to argue the "feel" because what feels good to you may not
for me. But, how can you say that MF lenses "promote a more considered
approach to composition."? In what way? I can use AF lenses in MF mode
and treat them exactly like MF lenses. Or I can use the multiple AF
sensor of my camera to focus on what I want. Or I can use the AF and
recompose option. The tools used cannot "promote a more considered
approach to composition." Only the tool user (that would be you, the
photographer) can "promote a more considered approach to composition."
Your statement is just as bad as the zooms vs. primes or automatic vs
manual arguments about learning composition.
