The 'practice' thing is probably right but I have a suspicion there's more
to it. When I bought the M3 I bought a Weston III with it. I used this meter
for virtually every shot. Somehow the extra 'fiddling' made me concentrate
more whereas the more modern SLR's (Mamiya ZE-X in the early eighties and
OM's in the early noughties) have made me too slack and trusting. Exposures
have been too easy and thus often wrong, sharpness has been affected
sometimes because camera was held too loose and with all that vibration
happening at time of exposure instead of just the gentle shutter...
I guess I'll just have to concentrate more.

Practice? You use it when it is the appropriate tool for the job?
Whenever I have the space to spare in the camera bag I have an old M2 and a
couple of summicrons that ride along. It constantly puts me in my place.
