No regrets. Let me add a few more positives:
1) You get a lot fewer of your friends asking if they can drive it. Only about half of my friends drive stick. Only half of those can do so with confidence.
2) Built-in theft deterrent.
3) Letting your kids shift from the passenger seat (on non-crowded roads). You control the clutch, gas, and steering - they get their first feel of a manual transmission.
The only time it sucks is when my wife's car needs repairs. She doesn't drive manual, so if the repairs are going to take some time, I have to rent a car for her to drive. This is a very small price to pay.
