Why is this so complicated?
If I said that the car slipped out of gear and into neutral under load, you would say that that is a problem. You would not respond by saying, "Do you want a car that stays in gear or do you want a car that is involving to drive?"

You will get notchiness with a good direct mech link transmission. If you aren't feeling anything in the shifting process you won't feel anything any other time either.
So yes, IMO, it does need to be notchy when cold to feel direct. Every good MT I've ever driven is notchy when cold.. current press isn't just views it as noteworthy (good or bad) because it's not normal, but neither is an excellent shifter. :shrug:
And yes, coming out of gear IS a problem. Notchiness when cold is NOT.
