I say it is the opposite. Non-seasoned DIY mechanics use only two jackstands. It's dangerous. Having the car on 4 jackstands makes it impossible to roll off the stands because the all the wheels are off the ground. The chassis is designed to sit flat and level on all four lifting blocks. The lifting blocks are not designed to have force applied to them at angles, such as when the car is supported only on two jackstands.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
