With a light clutch and good solid shifter I think it makes driving a lot more fun. Love downshifting and using engine braking into turns, and then you are right in engine's sweet spot coming out. Sure, you can do that with an auto trans but after a while you kind of forget and don't bother.
Plus a few more Toyota drivers would still be alive if they were driving stick.
