I know...I'm an awful driver!
I've never had a lesson, but I'd have to learn in an automatic because I no longer have the strength in my left arm/hand to consistently handle a gear stick. It's not such a limiting thing, these days, at least. I suspect we'll move over to more cars being automatic, over the next decade, as more steps to increase fuel economy and reduce emissions in cars are taken.
