I've done it so much that it's just a habit now *shrug*

Practice is one thing...but to say that H-T is "practical" is BS. Do I H-T on the street? Yes, but not on during the daily grind/commute/traffic driving. If you never drive on the track (which is 90% of car owners) you have no need to really H-T (and that is why Nissan's RevMatch is so popular--and it works really well, BTW).
Regarding options...all too often options are in "packages" and it's an all-or-nothing scenario (look at the R-Spec package of the Gen Coupe)...getting a car with only the options you want can be painful if not impossible, especially for a non-elite car manufacturer (Porsce, Ferrari and many other exotics take options/customization to extremes).
