Like I said, I couldn't care less about how technologically advanced or quick shifting any automatic is. Given the option I will always choose a manual. And there are many enthusiasts out there that feel the same way. The problem is you get some manual drivers that feel like its their duty to berate those that drive automatics.
I know what you're saying. And I like manuals as well. its just the last 6 years I've come to really admire the tech behind these autos. I have become a supporter of the auto just because how far they have come. In the 80's and 90's it was all about manuals for me. I would have never thought an auto could feel like they do today.
I don't question why people choose manuals. I'm just saying, when pople bash out of a Z forum. It becomes kind of contradictory when you factor in SRM and an average shifter/clutch. Its the anti-purist combo.
That said. I don't question ANYONES CHOICE of transmission.
