If you are supposed to drive a DCT like a manual, why not get a manual?

I agree with this comment. I am the OP coming from the two manuals and really wanted to try the DCT as when shopping for a used comp pack I didn't want to pass this one up to hold out for a 6MT. Being someone who would prefer a manual I don't agree that the dct should only be driven like a manual and that people would scoff if you don't drive your dct like this. I think there are arguments on both sides as I think this dct is brilliant. the shifts are crisp and precise. for me perhaps to clarify my initial gripe is not the technical part of the dct but the software. it doesn't help my only other example of an 'auto' trans is a porsche pdk however...
