I do have a motorcycle, and can't imagine a DCT rather than a manual. Odd, isn't it?

I have an E46CI M supercharged manual, an X5M F15 8 speed auto and a Porsche 997 turbo cabriolet stage 2 tuned.
There is no doubt that a manual is more involving, but the modern auto boxes are superb, THE BMW 8 speed with flick across sport mode and paddles are so much faster away from the lights and so very controllable at a touch of the finger tips,
Great in crawling traffic. For the driver just a big grade up from a stick and clutch change
