You mean the AF article.
I'm probably one of the few of the new generation that use MF primarily, it slows me down and lets me think about the composition.
Well to be honest I do use AF since I'm lazy but I always give the focus ring a twist to place it where I want it.
This what they wrote and I believe it's true though.

So is there any place left for manual focusing?
For any subject that is either not actively moving away from the photographer's position or that is set to move into the “trap focus” after careful pre-focusing, better results can be achieved with careful manual focusing. Carefully framed landscape shots, images of buildings or architectural details and meticulously arranged tabletop displays in a photographer's studio are unlikely to require the use of autofocus.
