pilot environment without an autopilot to be a excessive knob twisting,
bad human-factors situation.

Key to comfort with the 430 for me was to get proficient at flying
pieces of flight
plans and approaches. ATC will "help" you by giving you shortcuts. At
SQL they
always give me "direct AMEBY", which is not an IAF. Or they will give
you a vector
to join an airway.

It's important to know how to do these things before blasting off
into IMC.
