Same here unless something special going on like sunrise, sunset or high key photo.I made a preset for importing that applies auto plus a little sharpening, clarity and saturation.

I often do. If the shot is something I see as a "great" shot (sales worthy or contest worthy) I don't hit auto. On the other hand, if I am doing a lot of very similar pictures (family shots, pictures of our animals, nothing outstanding) I will hit the auto because I just don't get excited over the photos.
If it is a paid shoot, I might try the auto button to get close on the first photo, adjust more, and then sync the rest.
Auto is not really bad. If you follow the usual protocol of holding the shift key while clicking the mouse on the slider of a value (highlights, contrast, etc.) you will get the same result as auto, but it takes longer.
Once you have hit auto, you still have the option of using brushes an filters. Also, auto does not change the white balance, so you still have control of that.

Yes, it's my starting point. It does a commendable job.

I was doing it so much that I do it on import now...... It is just a starting point and I make further adjustments after importing...

Yes I do.

Yes...but always compare the results. I have been especially happy with photos that are too dark initially. Great time saver since I do a lot of nature photos of birds and insects to document and really don't manipulate my photos a lot.
Great addition to Lightroom!
