It's much more fun IMO and it's somewhat more predictable. I can see where I'm going and shift in anticipation, whereas an automatic gearbox doesn't, hence the automatic gearbox is sometimes in the "wrong" gear (e.g. when slowing down for a roundabout, some are a gear too high to just accelerate and merge into the roundabout). Shifting pedals can somewhat work around that problem.
