For me I like having Chrome auto-updated in the background on my Mac, because it always works whenever I need it, and I don't have to think about it at all. However I can understand not wanting auto-updates for software that is less likely to work properly after an update... I wish that I could set most of my applications to silently auto-update, and then set a few back to manual if I ever decided one had an issue. Auto-updating is an awesome idea for browsers and for frequently updated things like Chrome.
