Sometimes I feel this way, and sometimes not. I do appreciate cruise control on long interstate trips. The cruise on my Mustang is smart enough to use engine braking on steep hills. The first time this happened, I wasn't expecting it and it made me smile. But it can't anticipate what's coming, so is always a little behind on compensating a series of short hills and declines. In that case, I much prefer to control the speed myself.
The next car I get (if and when) probably will have adaptive cruise that adjusts speed to the traffic ahead, but I will still prefer to do it myself in rolling terrain or winding roads.
