Personal preference
Some want some don't. That's about it, simple as that.
So saying that, I want a manual, find driving much more enjoyable with a manual... brakes, clutch in, blip throttle, downshift, clutch out

I would only consider a manual
Note: This is personal preference, and I am not trying to insult people who prefer automatics!
To me, manuals offer an engaging driving experience and autos (including DSG) do not. If I am not using a clutch, I don't feel a connection with the car and it doesn't excite me. Automatics drive me crazy because it doesn't feel like I am truly in control, and the car is always second-guessing what I want it to do. Driving a manual in heavy traffic also does not bother me (in fact, it gives me something to do).

Tell AoA what you think
Let AoA know how you feel about this. They've already received a good deal of negative feedback about the lack of a MT in the Avant. Tell them that US Audi customers want more options, and don't want a Tiptronic forced down their throats.
