I agree, call me old fashion, but I still like the feel of a manual. I had a SMG (which is better than DSG) on a M3. Not a bad combination, but no fun..no guts...no glory. To be honest, I bet I cannot manually shift as fast as the SMG, but who cares. The fun is is the feel of a car. I can go hundreds of miles and hour and accelerate really fast in a 737 as a passenger, but no feed back ruins the ride. I think that is why we have options in this world. Some people buy Nash Ramblers and others buy Porsches.
