Yep, I used to be a manual fanatic, but I realized it's only 'fun' when the engine is slightly underpowered. On a typical modern car sold in USA you'd practically have to take it to a racetrack.

I can testify that a manual transmission is still fun when the engine is adequately power or beyond.

Manual transmissions are less fun when most of the time spent in the car is in gridlock during the twice-daily commute.

I had a 6 cylinder VW and the feeling was more 'any gear is fine', so I lost interest. Also grew up driving manuals so never had a problem commuting, its advantageous sometimes to take it out of gear in stop-n-go traffic.

A stick on unpaved hill and mountain roads is still fun too.
