As usual you are taking an extreme view as the best solution. To me, there is a reason cameras have features and it is to give the OP the ability to get shots that they would normally have missed because of the time it would take to setup the camera in manual or the time in PP to get the desired result. If I tried to do some bracketing shots for HDR it would take soo much time too setup, it would not be enjoyable. Also, different types of shooting can use different featues of the camera that you might not use all the time. Having the ability to change my metering or auto focus from center to a larger area are great features that I am glad I have. Also the ability to set an auto ISO range, bracket at the push of a button, setup back button focus, or have two SD slots that I can change the use of (backup or raw on one and jpeg on the other) require reading the manual. I will gladly spend the money on hardware (and the time reading the manual) that can do these things instead of doing everything in full manual and missing many shots. If the camera limits hour creative potential time to upgrade.
