Such a ridiculous debate. There is NO manual mode on a DCT. It's still an auto box and you tell it what to do via computers. This is fast but it has no feel whatsoever.
I guess I have to admit I'm not a race car driver like most DCT enthusiasts, and I'm not concerned with a few extra seconds. I just want driving feel. BMW left that all behind in the new models with EPS, turbo, and now finally the death of the manual.
One thing I'd like to know is how many owners just bought DCT because they don't know how to drive manual. I imagine that's a non trivial percentage of sales. People aren't teaching their kids manual, and their kids grow up only having an auto. Therefore less sales of manual. Perhaps.
