Autoland works quite well, especially on the fail operational 737s, those usually do a pretty nice touchdown exactly on centreline after a correct flown decrab and then continue to track it until you switch the autopilot off when you need to turn off the runway.

That said, it is way more fun to land manually, besides, we do need any manual flying training we can get. So, autoland is the not the norm, manual landings are. Not to mention all the restrictions about protected areas etc.
