The problem is that many believe if you don’t set every aspect of exposure manually, you’re not going to get the best photo and/or you’re not a “real” photographer.

That "real photographer" attitude is annoying. Everyone works with the camera in a manner that fits us individually.
Photographers passing judgment on other just because others don't have that same process as they do are just show off's.
How you shot your pictures is none of my business, or vice versa.
What makes a good photographer includes so much more than settings. But the judgemental ones might never understand that photography is an art form where the finished picture is the goal - not the tools to get there.

Absolutely right, Boris.

I'm with you Boris! "All roads lead to Rome". In this instance, Rome is the final image produced.
I couldn't agree with Boris more! We all develop a "relationship" with our gear and eventually develop a way of working that maximizes the probability of capturing the vision we have for the image. Some are more comfortable with a completely manual approach, other s have learned that technology can help them and use as they need, still other takes their images in full AUTO and hope.
