I became bored of automatic when I was about 18, and wanted a manual car. At first, it was tough; not being able to find the bite point, stalling at lights, reversing, the whole shabang. But now, it's just second nature. You also seem a lot more in tune with your vehicle. It's not just point, go and stop anymore.

It's also a good skill to learn; you never know when you may need to know how to drive stick. I've heard of a few instances where someone was either too drunk or injured and couldn't drive their car, so their friend had to. Important life skill, IMO.
