I only drive manual transmissions. Initially when I was young I learned how to drive with automatics, and yes there was that certain fear factor of the sticks. But once I spent the time just getting used to the manual transmission (thanks to my uncle's 80's mazda pick-up truck and deserted parking lots) I found the driving experience much more pleasurable and interactive.
That being said, because I live so close to work I normally take the bus and my stick shift WRX doesn't have to face the grueling stop and go Seattle traffic. If you're going to be using the 'stang for stop and go commuting, getting an automatic will save you some butt pain from shifting constantly.
I would advise you learn how to drive the stick anyway, cuz people are just going to keep making fun of you for not knowing =D . Then after you learn you can decide whether the stick is right for you.
