For me, i feel that only when my subject has alot of time to spare, i use Manual. Example, product shots, studio portraits, night photography.
Aperture mode is very convenient if you have fast moving subjects or inconsistent movements such as Events, pets, or street. I really feel that manual is for experienced photographers and should not be used if you don't understand it's full power well. I have a friend who just bought his camera recently. He used manual since he bought his camera. I told him to use Program or Aperture mode for some time but he wouldn't listen. Just today the school had an event, all his pictures are either massively overexposed or underexposed. So my advice to beginners, manual is for experienced photographers. Don't act like you already know everything and pretend to be Pro using manual.
Seriously, you don't need to be an expert to know how to use manual mode. There's an exposure meter bar at the bottom of your viewfinder in manual mode for a reason....
If you want a proper exposure, just keep that little arrow in the middle, over and underexpose accordingly and you will nvr go wrong.
As a newbie:
.....Poor light I put M, higher ISO, and try the best to compromise sufficient DOF with a shutter speed with acceptable risk. i.e. Slower speed increase the risk of handshake blur.
i use AV mode most of the time, manual mode is good if you use it in low light with flash.
