I feel like autofocus is so good. Are there times that you use manual focus? When I am looking through the view finder it almost seems impossible to actually manual focus a shot anyway.
Am I doing something wrong here? Just checking. Thank you.

The short answer is I use manual focus in circumstances where autofocus doesn’t work.
This might include low-light scenes where the AF just fails (getting to be less and less of a problem as technology gets better though), super cluttered busy scenes where the camera keeps focusing on the wrong thing, macro work (especially if I plan on focus stacking), the occasional scene where I might pre-focus and wait for something fast-moving to cross the frame because the AF would be too slow to catch it. Probably other cases I’m not thinking of right now.
