I didn't read the whole thread so I'm sure this has been mentioned already but:
While no one will argue that manual transmissions are more engaging for the driver, they've taken a back seat to automatics in every other aspect. It's really not hard to see why we're approaching the point where manuals are pretty much not offered at all. They used to be close but now, if you want ultimate performance you're shooting yourself in the foot by getting a manual. I don't blame people who do but I'll take a PDK over any trans.
People used to argue carburetors were better than EFI, etc...
