Years of Kerbal Space Program have prepared me for this moment. Almost felt easy, what with RCS thrusters that were actually balanced and not spinning me around when trying to translate (or vice versa), and having already been put in a stationkeeping orbit. Just needed to line up rotation, then Y/Z, then put X+ in the red, grab an early morning beer, come back, and make some final adjustments while slowing back down for contact.
If this really is the same UI used for manual docking, I'd be a bit worried about the lack of visual feedback when translating forward/backward. I guess in a real Dragon 2 you'd probably feel the RCS thrusters, but without that it's pretty jarring.
