My last 2 cars have had manual cranks. One of them is only 20 years old, so I think most people are probably old enough to remember cars with manual cranks. Can't say I like them any more or any less than electric windows to be honest. Six one, half a dozen the other. They're definitely better for 4-wheel driving (not that my car can do that) though, because if you flood your electronics, you can still wind the windows down. I had a friend who ran into trouble when the truck he was in flooded, and he was in the back with the windows up. So there's a definite advantage to manual windows in certain circumstances.
