Default Do I need a stand mixer?

I have a stand mixer in the corner of the counter on a wicker mat so
it pulls out and pushes back in easily. I never use it, favoring
mixing/kneeding by hand, or using a hand-held electric mixer.
Though I might break it out next time I make old-fashioned fudge -
that shit kicks my ass (and my carpal tunnel).
