A little bit of duct tape over the AF/MF switch can help you

I have some experience trying to use AF lenses in manual mode. Maybe I have used wrong lens models, but this was not very good experience (focus ring wobbling and going past infinity...). I just made conclusion that AF lenses are simply not intended for accurate manual focus (this is indicated in the article as well).
This is one of the main reasons why I am considering MF over AF lenses for landscape photography.
Do you guys have examples of some modern AF lenses which allows trouble-free manual focusing? What I mean by this is - if you place focus ring on infinity, you get the actual infinity setting and focus ring being smooth and wobbling-free.
