True, I have never driven the S2000. However, I know a couple of S2000 owners and did some research on the S2000 before I purchased my Boxster. The concensus was it was like shifting gears in a motorcycle. You had to constantly shift to be in the right gear. Most people didn't like this aspect of the S2000 manual tranny. That said, I believe Honda corrected this problem in the more recent version by offering an engine with more torque. Yes, an engine that was better matched for the tranny. Very very important, having an engine and tranny that are matched for each other.
