Practical Differences Between Manual and Automatic?

I've always been wondering this for quite some time. Though I am a car enthusuast, my technical knowledge of them isn't the greatest. I've usually always driven an automatic and had some kind of transmission problem of sorts. Like a Servo Spring cracked, or one of the electronic shift sensors fail to shift correctly. My general understanding is that when you drive a manual car, you eliminate all of those computer controlled elements, thus effectively eliminating many of the small glitchy problems automatic transmissions have that make it extremely expensive to fix. Am I correct for believing this? Thanks in advance!
