Although I did mention program mode I too have only ever used Av and
manual. I actually find it easier to shoot in manual mode than anything
else. On a Canon the meaning of the front and rear control dials
changes depending on mode. In manual mode the dials always mean the
same thing. And it's a lot easier just to tweak either the shutter
speed or aperture as appropriate rather than making an exposure
"adjustment".
But I did use program mode once on another camera when things started
moving too fast for me to keep up.
