Do most photographers shoot in manual mode?

I find When I go completely manual I tend to forget to put settings back to auto and stuff things up.
I Usually only go full manual when shooting night sky shots.I attended a workshop a few years ago where the husband and wife team insisted that you should ONLY use manual mode. From experience in changing lighting conditions I know I would miss 3/4 of the shots(I shoot mostly wildlife). Depending on the movement or the need to control BOF, I use aperture or shutter priority. I used to set ISO but after sessions with some unbelievable pros, I learned that auto ISO gives me the best chance to get the exposure I want.
I really do agree about forgetting to reset. My son says I have CRS (Can't remember S__t).
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
