   Everyone has different tastes.
   DCTs do have some advantages.

   The idea of adding automation to a pure drivers car sounds terrible
   unless it's for a disability.



   A fully manual sequential box would be the best of both worlds.
   Instantaneous gear changes with the full control of a manual.
   Unfortunately, there aren't many good options with our size and
   position constraints and some of those boxes require maintenance more
   often than a helicopter. A few exotics used automated sequential boxes
   on their road cars before the incredibly heavy/high rotational mass DCT
   crap became trendy with the subservient crowd that prefers to let 20+
   computers control how they drive a car. Some DCTs weight more than a
   fully dress LS3 Chevy engine. A light weight reliable sequential box
   would be a lot of fun and still allow you actually drive your car.
