Let me guess, you are one of those that say the only fault of perpignan was of the pilots for not being prepared before hand right??
Several things went wrong in Perpignan, not the least of which was the deliberate erosion of safety margins which are there to provide the wiggle-room needed to get yourself out of a fix.
If you ignore the basic preparations, and cut corners, and rush procedures, and perform stunts at 3,000ft which are meant to be done at 12,000ft, and wrongly assume - despite being a
test flight - that the aeroplane is fully functional, then it's a bit much to start blaming the automation once you've boxed yourself in and left yourself no time, space or height to work it out. And that's assuming you've been adequately trained in the first place.
I don't have an Airbus bias. I've just read too many accident reports where basic airmanship seems to have gone out of the window.
