Auto-layout vs manual spacing - which side are you on?

I spent 2 years manually spacing every element with pixel pushing. Thought I had control. Then a senior designer at a meetup in Austin showed me their auto-layout file and I felt stupid. It was so clean and responsive. Now I'm all auto-layout but some old habits die hard. Is auto-layout really always better or do you still switch to manual for certain layouts?

Pixel pushing" - I still do that for gradient overlays though.

@miles_jackson9 yeah me too, just can't help myself when it comes to that gradient look.
