I'm sure there were people who felt that the carburetor ruined their driving experience and maybe even some felt that a real driver controlled their own choke, lol.
When the alternative was a conventional auto and torque convertor I was glad to do the job myself because I knew could do it better. A CVT plus clutch means the machine can now do it better. I can concentrate on the real work which is steering, speed and hazard perception.
If you like a manual, good for you. I can't see it being replaced all that soon. It's just nice that for the majority CVT is here or more intelligent autos anyway. Get a computer to control the gearbox and junk that wasteful torque convertor and we're doing well
