A 'manual' screwdriver is typically much much lighter than a drill/driver with batteries.
I have not(yet) understood the mindset that thinks of drill/driver before an old timey screw driver.
They do have their place. I recently had my roof replaced with a metal roof. If they had to use manual screwdrivers it would have taken them several weeks.
However, I see people using powered drivers all the time for things that would never use a powered driver for. Screw-in plastic for example.

Not to beat this to death, but I like having the feedback when using a manual screwdriver.

My last comment on this. Both manual and powered screw drivers have their place. I use manual when I physically can and called for and powered when necessary or when physically unable to use manual.
