I'm resigned that manual transmissons are a thing of the past, but man, it's such a huge part of the enjoyment of driving for me.
Getting that perfect shift, especially if accelerating quicky or going up a steep hill is just so satisfying... Or the "minigame" of balancing the clutch and throttle from a full stop uphill without using the handbrake... And that feeling when you smoothly downshift going down a road and the revs pick up, while you ease up on the brake...
Yeah I really like driving.
Learned automatic then later manual out of necessity and this is just nuts to me. People enjoy that? Driving is already fairly obnoxious just getting around traffic and the extra tedium of having to shift gears at every stop and go was awful. This has to be some kind of Stockholm syndrome or nostalgia or something
I'm a computer geek and I always look at it like a computer. Is a Mac or Windows easier to use? Arguably yes.
Yet I use Linux anyway because I like the full control despite the trade offs. And some tradeoffs I actually prefer
I could just click install on Windows and Mac (and on Linux),, or I can download a program and manually put each of it's constituent files into the correct place in order to run it.
I'm a computer guy and view an automatic as just that: Automation to do away with a needless repetitive task. Not to say that I missed your analogy, but "full control" is an awfully overblown way to put it when it comes to a manual unless you're doing NASCAR or something. Our programmers and engineers know what they're doing. Your car can automatically shift gears and do more than well enough to get you to work and back.
