I used to use auto a lot in the past, and for some things I still do. But I've come to really appreciate code readability, there could be any number of people reading the code that I write in the future (including me!). Knowing at a glance what type some variable is makes it easier to understand code. auto still kicks ass of course, especially for ranges and template code.
