"...balance can be struck between driver involvement and running the daily slog without a cramped left leg."
Am I the only person that can drive a car with three pedals through 30 miles of stop-and-go traffic and not care at all?

No, but most people seem to be complaining about it.

“Am I the only person that can drive a car with three pedals through 30 miles of stop-and-go traffic and not care at all?”
Well, it looks like there’s at least three of us!
I might consider a DSG if it was offered in one (or more) of the cars I was considering, provided there wasn't a $1000+ surcharge to delete the left-most pedal.

I probably wouldn't buy a DSG period in most cars; in fact, I'd pay more to have a conventional stick in most cases.
I can see it in something like the Veyron or even as an option in say, a 911 Turbo. But in a cheap, sporty car like the VWs or even a cheap sports car like my STI, I'd rather have a stick. I think it's more in keeping with the nature of the car, even if it is slower than a DSG.
