Funny how I summed up this whole conversation earlier and had a whole bandwagon of naysayers...

It's not jerky, at least the DSG system in a Golf GTi isn't. It's all down to your opinion of what is jerky and what is not, it doesn't slur from one gear into another in the same way as an auto will but it is totally acceptable on anything other than a top of the line £80K+ luxury car which main concern is the pamper it's passengers in the utmost of smoothness.
Plus at the minute the technology is still new and because of this it costs much more to manufacture than a similar automatic, it's to old numbers thing. In the long run it will take over the role of the automatic or something else will replace the both of them, such is progress.
