OK, let's explore that.What I post is really in line with "I don't like". Even though whatever it is comes off to me as being a rough edge that I can't ignore. I may be bluntly spoken and averse to sugar-coating most of my opinions, but they are not intended in an inflammatory manner.
Unlike the very title to this thread, I might add.
I shouldn't have to explain this any more than people who go on and on about faster shifts should be explaining what amounts to their dissatisfaction with a MT's necessarily slower shifting. Interpretation works both ways . . .

Someone posted (emphasis added by me):
Having good manual 'shifting' skills does not equate to good 'driving' skills. Not saying people don't have both, but they're not the same thing. I prefer faster curvy road driving so, for me, automatic much better for speedier corners and better control.
To which you responded:
That doesn't sound like an "I don't like" post to me, it sounds like you're telling someone else that they are wrong about their feeling regarding their performance driving in their car, and even providing a functional issue with the transmission as to why they are wrong. If you meant to say that you personally would not be able to get better performance that way, I am not sure how it could have been interpreted that way. That's why I posted the response that I did.Better control when somebody other than you is telling the transmission when to shift? I don't believe it, or the speedier corners part where you could be subjected to an unexpected up- or down-shift.

Edit: One thing I should clarify is that when I reference an auto on these forums, I am referring the the only auto available for purchase on the current Mustang, which is the A10. I am fully aware that not every auto works the same, just like every manual can work differently, and some may not perform as well.
