Actually most manual-shift automatics are just automatics that let you choose the gears. Not very quick shifts, and often the computer won't let you shift as you like (i.e. downshifting two gears at a time/in sequence). As for true clutchless automatics (they still have a clutch, it's just computer controlled) they are amazing fast, as in 1/10 of a second or less.
Still, every enthusiast I've talked to says half the fun of driving is having a manual. Makes me very much wish I had a manual...
