Think of it this way, you're driving your 6 mt trans car hard around a curvy track. You reach down to change gears and wtf, the shifters not there, it moved 4 inches to the right. 6 seconds later you gotta shift again, wtf it's not there again, it moved 3 inches up and to the left......you get the message.

Agreed. Hence, my comment about wishing the paddle shifters rotated with the steering wheel.
Also, as an aside, the gears in the AT can be changed with the console shifter itself (forward to go up, backward to go down), which is no more difficult than changing gears with a MT.
