I'm stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I've ever driven. But I've been casually looking for a new car and I'd love to have an electric, but I don't want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What's your take?

I prefer manual (probably only because I live in the UK and autos are much less common here) but I'm not so precious about it that I'd prevent myself doing something that's objectively better for the environment.
