New automatic gearboxes are pretty much better in any way other than raw cost and with things like hybrids and cruise control etc I imagine it'd actually end up costing more to adapt a manual to all that than just using an automatic

When I get into an automatic, the thing that annoys me most is it's in the wrong gear and takes a while to react to the press on the accelerator. I generally know what gear I need in a couple of seconds time, so when I'm driving a manual it's already in that gear when the time arrives. I'm amazed at how often I thinking "oh for pete's sake, do catch up" to an automatic gear box. That said, that's an ICE problem. Their low torque at low revs is means you have to be in the right gear to accelerate quickly. In EV's the effect isn't noticeable.
