I personally prefer a camera with simple easy to handel features. I have owned many automatic cameras, most recently the EOS 1 line, but have always left the camera on manual exposure settings. When using the EOS some of the joy of photography was missing. I finally bought an M6 and realized what I was missing, that feeling of working with photography on a personal level that only a truly manual non gimicky camera can give you. My favorite bodies have always been the more manual configurations, the M6, R6, Nikon FM2, F3, Canon F1, and now the R8, but I, personally, could live with out the auto modes and just keep the flash meter/matrix meter capabilities with the high sync speed/rear curtain sync for the flash.
