I'm split...
For the first 4 months, I used D almost exclusively and never really got hooked on the paddle shifters the few times I tried them.
Recently, however, I've been shifting manually with the center shifter almost 100% of the time. I really, really like that feature and (to me) feels much smoother and fluid than using the paddles.
I got scared off of DS mode when (below 1k miles) the G would really hang onto 2nd gear when accelerating out of a low speed turn. The handful of times I exceeded the 4k rpm boundary was in this manner.

I bought an automatic mainly because of my wife. Anything short of a full 6MT does not do it for me. I'm starting to regret for not getting the 6MT this time around...
While the paddle shifters are fun and definitely more interesting than the plain automatic mode, it still doesn't have the full kick a manual gearbox has.
