I do like MT, but in a daily driver I want the convenience of AT. DCT gives you best of both worlds... lightening fast shifts, great control, and of course convenience in traffic.

I already explained it. "Lightning fast shifts" has drawbacks, too. I sometimes like to dither over my next gear. Because I have that 1-2 second delay, I can analyze the road ahead and pop it into the proper gear. If I know the gear ahead of time, I can just plow it in without a thought.
Either way, that clutch pedal and rowing gears will always be more fun for me than letting a computer do it. And I've sat in heavy traffic for hours. While there's some discomfort, that usually goes away within minutes of reaching my destination. I really don't think driving a manual in heavy traffic is all that unpleasant. It can be annoying, but it is temporary.
