I am of the same mind for a lot of this technology.
I flew the 146 for years (and a westwind before that) before training on the 737-300. Never had autobrake or auto-spoilers on the previous two aircraft, and initially I thought "Hey, great! New toys!"
But on reflection ... on my "old" iarcraft, you landed, btuck your feet on the brakes, and deployed the spoilers - no problem, never forgot even once! Now I have to keep in mind all the requirements for auto operation, watch to see that they are actually working etc etc - three times the work for the same systems, twice the error possibility and no appreciable change to the landing. I would prefer it if these two systems were never fitted!
The problem with systems designers is that they get all excited designing things that reduce workload when pilots are not particularly busy, and increase workload when they are. Must be getting old (at 34).
