For the purist...yes.
3 pedals are becoming extinct.
All of the new technology is the equivalent of using cheat codes and hacks in a video game to get through it. Sure, you may have cleared the level in record time, but why even bother buying and playing the game if there is no challenge to it?
I forget which Top Gear review it was, but they said a regular driver could get the car to go around the track within 1 second of the lap time set by a professional driver.
Technology is great for an every day driver. It makes it more fuel efficient, comfortable, easier to drive, safer and smoother. But that's the problem. I didn't buy a weekend car to feel like an every day driver.
You can also compare it to the old style wooden roller coasters to the newer all steel coasters. The new steel coasters are faster, smoother and thrilling. The old wooden coasters were bumpy, fast and just as thrilling but in a different way. Steel coasters are all about speed, wooden coasters are all about the experience.
