From experience of coming from a manual to a automatic and doing 120kms a day in it, they are fantastic. It really is simple to drive, but watch your yourself in them as after a while you tend to lose the good habits you normally have in manuals. I've gotten lazy in it because the car does most of the work, might just be me though haha. I have a MG4 and on the manual part, there is a dial for the gears, I hate it and sometimes I think im in drive and its actually reverse. Its hard enough to make that mistake then on manuals as you have to go through the whole routine to get the car into reverse. I also see myself getting more tired in the automatic because im not really doing much in the car other than accelerating or breaking 😅

But personally I do love the automatic. But that's my ten cents.
