The newest stickshift I've driven was a 2018 with computer controlled suspension, fancy-smancy-brake/"torque vectoring" stuff, and optional revmatching on downshifts. To be honest, with the rest of the car doing so much already to augment my driving skills (it responded beautifully, but it definitely wasn't my skill), the stick felt incredibly anachronistic. That was the experience that made me OK with it going away in the future... It'll still be there on old cars, which are still a unique experience, but it's a bit off IMO on new ones.
