Stonewall attack is not that bad but usually, players going for it play in "automatic" mode.

For instance, i played this game as black some months ago :

U can also watch this very good video :

I don't want to discourage u about playing this stuff but just a warning about these "auto mode" sets up.

There is a nice lecture on the stonewall here:

And yeah playing the stonewall against ...g6/...d6 setups is risky or even bad. ...g6/...d5 setups I'm not so sure about.

I didn't understand the term "automatic mode"

He means just blitzing out the standard stonewall attack moves as a machine without thinking about the opponents answer and not being flexible.

The best way to play the Stonewall attack is playing something else.

playing stonewalls can happen by accident , especially playing the dutch , and skillful players always find ways to break the ice , i don't recommend purposeful play unless your skilled at attacking in these positions !
