this question bothered me as soon as I started thinking about it. I hate to give up the 'feel' of the car that an old school manual gives, but as long as that 'fake' shifter has a good feel to it, I'd take the DCT over everything else.

While I would definitely prefer semi-automatic or tiptronic or dual clutch or whatever you call it, as it is the best of both worlds, I could not resist voting the last choice

I guess because you still have full control over the gear ratio if you want/need, which you lack both in traditional auto and CVT. Engine braking is also a thing I use a lot, and I don't think CVT is on par with manual on this.
Any kind of auto is great for traffic jams, and that is where I want it. The rest of the time I want manual. And dual clutch allows exactly this.
