The DCT may not be better for a driver like yourself. You may just purely want to row your own gears, and to your credit, you should do whatever makes you happy while you're driving, and racing your car. But, you cannot really debate, what is a better engineered solution, a DCT or a Manual transmission. There is literally nothing a manual has over a DCT from this stand point.
The manual transmission offers an engaging car to driver driving experience. Your grandmother could drive a DCT. The main problem with today's cars are they are going to end up having so many gears your going to need a DCT to keep track of them. unfortunately after 6 where do you go? A high and low button on the shifter like the old trucks used to have? Gearing is what is going to kill the manual!
