It's really easy. If you're flying an aircraft with underslung engines, you get a pitch-up moment if you add thrust and a pitch-down moment if you pull back the TLs. The same is happening on the airbus, but you don't have to trim so you'll never feel it.
I try to fly at least 50% raw data approaches, e.g. without flight director and manually. The rest of the approaches are flown with flight director and most of them manually from the beginning of the final approach (ils or whatever). Autothrottle is off (or arm) whenever i fly manually with the exception of the takeoff, thats common sense and SOP.
