Nikon kit lens and Nikon 50mm 1.8D manual focus feel and behavior?

It's always been my dream to own a prime lens.

Does a 50mm 1.8D have the same manual focus "feel" as the Nikon 18-55mm kit lens? I accept the fact that I'd have to manually focus a 50mm 1.8D lens on my D5100. But if it feels the same as manually focusing an 18-55mm kit lens, then I might as well skip on buying 1.8D.

P.S. I don't have a budget for 1.8G and I thought the 1.8D may be greatly useful both for my Nikon digital and film camera.

So, should I give it a green light? Thanks!
