It's exactly the same thing, your relying on the system to do the work for you. To become a better driver you have to fully understand what to do in those kind of situations without the help of the system. I learned how to drive a car before ABS came standerd on all cars, i drive some army vehicals now that still dont have ABS. Very rarely does my ABS come on in my truck. Why? because i learned how to brake earlier and easier in situations that would require ABS, ie Snow, Ice, Rain or other situations.

That being said, i never said you should have the systems turned off all the time, that was just the way i ran my car. What im saying is the people that claim all these accidents are caused by people turning VDC off, is total bs and probably dont know how to drive. Its not that hard to get out of situations with VDC off. Like i said, if you need to rely on VDC system while driving a sports car, maybe you should rethink what kind of car you should be driving, if any.

As for manual vs. auto transmission, to his, his own. My truck is auto, its the one thing i hate about my truck. But dodge made regular cabs manual and quad cabs auto, i needed the room more then i needed the type of transmission. If i had the money, i would swap transmissions and everything so i could have manual.
