Traditions die hard and besides, maybe you 'should' be using the manual focusing ring more than you do :-) I'm actually on a manual focusing binge. I've found that AF has really slowed down my picture taking. It's so damned much easier to just focus and shoot, rather than hunt, lock, perhaps change focus mode, and then frame and finally shoot. Just because we have something doesn't mean we have to use it - all the time. There are times when it's nice to have and on a wide angle, it's kind of nice to pinpoint the focus to determine DOF, but I find myself quite able to focus with the 20-35 USM by eye.
