      Those piss me off for reasons beyond manual supremacy - they’re bad UI design too. A knob is for controlling something (like volume) which varies continuously over a range. It is not for selecting from a short list of discrete options!

      What, you don’t want to shift gears endlessly while stuck moving between 10 mph and a dead stop on the freeway for three hours?

        Maybe, just maybe, it’s spending 3 hours in stop and go traffic that’s the problem, not the transmission.
