That really wasn't directed at you, it was more of a broad statement on the subject of those that try to justify their choice of gearbox. Just accept what you have and don't try to be what its not. If you like the DCT, say it proudly and call it exactly what it is: an automatic with paddle shifters. Same as a ZF8 and many other automatic transmissions.
And yes, I did own a DCT before, it was a VW R32 with a DSG and it was anemic AF, even with its lighten-fast shifting. Couldn't wait to get rid of it. There is simply no replacement for that third pedal.
