18-Wheeler,
Good God Man - you're talking like a pilot who actually is allowed to think and control the aircraft using good judgement. No wonder you fly the Classic.
Unfortunatly in my company, after a senior pilot visited a golf course in Asia, we are required to use autobrakes for all landings. Can't be too carful now on 4000 m runways - I think the brake manufactureres are giving someone in ops a sling for rules like this to exist. Often after landing you see people immediately overide the aoutobrakes with a nasty jerk, especially in the 4K runway scenario with a vacate at the end.
In defence of autobrakes - they do, I believe, even out brake wear left & right. Yes, apart from X-wind, some of us are just naturally lefties or righties!
It's a tool, use it when appropriate.
