Not that it matters but I'm sure there are tons that cannot, but say they can. This is the interwebs afterall.

I drove a 6MT car (a '99 WS-6 TransAm!) for a decade before I picked up my 7AT 370. I'm probably a little rusty now because I haven't owned a manual car for about 5 years, although once in a blue moon I do get to drive someone's manual Jeep or something randomly.
I don't mind a normal auto in something like my tow-truck, but I could never drive a sportscar that didn't let me pick gears explicitly. There's little point in that. However, the 7AT really does let you drive it like a manual in M-mode. The only real difference from that sort of perspective is not having to mess with the clutch pedal, which is really just another nice convenience over the one you 6MT guys already get compared to a "real" manual: SRM.
I'll give you 7AT-haters a lot more credit if you permanently disable the SRM on your car first
