Back-button focus: worth relearning after ten years of half-press?
Everyone in wildlife swears by it. I have tried twice and gone back both times. Does it actually help, or is it a habit people defend because they invested in it?

It helps specifically when you need to hold focus and recompose repeatedly, or switch between tracking and locked focus without menu diving. If neither is your situation, half-press is fine — it is a tool, not a virtue.
Give it a full month, not a weekend. The first two weeks feel worse than half-press for everyone.
