For myself and most of my family we drive manuals (7/8 cars are stick).
Most of us will continue to buy manuals for toys and our daily drivers. I just enjoy driving that way and will purchase cars based on their manual availability(that's the reason we bought a few bmw's).
For us I have driven many good automatics/DCT and could care less on how "good" or quick the shifts are. I really do enjoy the engagement to the car and the connectedness. Even if the car is slower and not as fast on the track etc.
