I think the same may apply to both L and R sides JGSE It is easy to get lazy I agree especially on the One I fly currently. I come from the likes of F27 and B7?7 classic steam driven tack. My suggestion, Maybe you could quietly bring this up with your Trg Dept? rather than complaining about the guy next to you here. Also worth remembering is these Aircraft are designed to use this Automation again especially in busy Controlled crowded Airspace to help.
As for me I am going back to something more classic where you do tend to fly raw data more.
