But that's precisely the point. Treat each technology on its merit.
Gear synchros? Don't detract from involvement, do improve gear changing. Tick.
ABS? Rare cuts in on the road when pressing on unless you're hamfisted, possibly a bit more intrusive on track. A qualified tick.
Power steering? Another one that's a bit in between depending on the system in question and preferences.
PDK? Removes gearbox and clutch control from the driver. Reduces involvement. Cross.
We can of course argue the details for each technology. But it's just not true to make this a binary argument in which you must either embrace any new technology or reject it. In other words, it's perfectly logical and reasonable to reject PDK but embrace gear synchros.
Like I said, each on its merits. PDK makes driving so much less fun.
