I guess it's just a personal preference. I could drive a paddle-shifted slushbox, but I just prefer the clutch pedal and gear shift; it's just more fun. Not to mention if more people had to use both hands for driving it would limit their use of cell phones and other things that distract them from paying attention to their primary reason for operating the car...to drive. This is definitely directly affecting the driving experience IMHO. I don't think the choke is a good example of old technology that others prefer, but some do prefer the fuel delivery of carbs as opposed to FI. I guess I just prefer the older technology then.

I also strongly feel that it will be more costly in the long run for paddle-shifting transmissions as opposed to manual gearboxes. Additional complexity usually means additional costs when you perform repairs.
