Up until fairly recently the majority of cars in the UK were manual (had a stick shift) not automatic so I have always driven a manual as have both my kids.
There has been a move towards semi automatic on recent years and I am not sure electric vehicles have a gear box at all so it could be a dying skill.

@MrAverage1965 Manual transmissions were more effecient (got better gas mileage) until around 2010. As more cars featured 6 or 8 speed automatic transmissions, the manual advantage started to disappear.
