Appropriate automation

Having flown "iron dial" and current fly-by-wire aircraft, imho pilots should be free to use "appropriate automation". Bad vis, long day, etc are good reasons to use the automatics. Otherwise it should be manual/manual below 3000'.
How else can you know your aircraft, and fully ready for the critical max x-wind landing?
