Yeah, unless you've tried them both extensively, you can't compare them that way.

The feedback provided by the clutch pedal is integral to the process of driving a manual car - it's not just 'engage' or 'disengage', it's a fully analog feedback mechanism about the state of the drivetrain linkage.

Especially the paddle shifters are like trying to tie a fly fishing lure while wearing welding gloves. No connection to the machine or feedback from the engine, no ability to change the engine state independent of the state of the drivetrain.

I miss manual transmissions every time I drive, and I drive a car with a really, really good paddle shift dual clutch transmission.
