Has VDC made you a worse Z driver?

Perhaps some of the problem with an intrusive driver aid is that it amplifies minor mistakes. If you accelerate a little early or take a corner a bit too fast

Perhaps some of the problem with an intrusive driver aid is that it amplifies minor mistakes. If you accelerate a little early or take a corner a bit too fast what might have occurred without VDC would have been a bit of a slow down as your wheels slipped, but when the VDC kicked in, that minor slowdown was amplified into a major slow down as it cuts power drastically. I guess with a safety focused driver aid this is the trade-off -- it protects you from major mistakes at the cost of severely impacting performance with minor mistakes.
