Anyone who likes ETC off, try my throttle map instead -- feels snappier to my foot anyway.

Using ETC off with an Auto is a bad idea.
ETC off with a manual, is heavenly.
You definitely shouldn't use ETC off with an auto, it could put a lot more stress on your transmission, those clunky downshifts aren't good for it.
Also - Flashing wipes learned fuel data, so you really have to drive it for a bit before making the call on whether or not it's more responsive. The engine will definitely be sluggish and soft until it gets some trim data saved.
