For parties/barbeques/gatherings at which there's ample light, I use auto-focus.
But after a few times of my 16-45 hunting in dim conditions, I either use manual focus, or ask the people to move to where there's more light, provided it won't spoil the moment.
I've had my K100D almost a year now, and have to admit I was getting a bit lazy and using auto-focus the first six months I had it.
That all changed when I got my Lensbaby, a lens that fights you every step of the way in that it's auto-nothing, but gives very pleasing results once you know how to place its sweet spot, and choose the appropriate aperture for the effect you want.
Recently I bought a 100mm M macro, and I must say that it feels so good to be focusing a well-damped manual lens once again! :) It puts you right back into the thought process of making a photograph.
Auto for quick candids, manual for tripod time. ;)
