Rather than hijack that other thread, I thought I'd create one about only this subject. Here are two good youtube videos I've found on the subject.

Like oil, filters and tires, there will never be an agreement on this subject.

My Honda has a clutch and I use it.... every shift. Always have, always will. I am never in so much of a hurry that I don't have time to squeeze the lever and release it again. As far as I can tell it takes the same amount of time to squeeze and release the blade as it does to let off or blip the throttle. YMMV
I think I understand now. Where the appeal of the DCT transmissions comes from. I've ridden them. They are great. But I like shifting.

You can still shifting if you like......smile. .
My 2016 BMW R1200R has an option call Gear Shift Assist Pro that allows up and down clutchless shifting.

Here is a video that kind of explains how it works.

I agree... however as off-roading I once broke my clutch lever and perch.. it's something worth while to know to get you home
I had no idea. It's clutch for me from now on.

For example : DCT means...you havent a interruption of power at the speed up...it continue still
