There is no better or worse, like iOS or Android, turbo or NA, 2WD or 4WD, just be aware of what you are buying so you are not disappointed.
But if you expect a torque converter to behave like a DCT (or a turbo like a NA), your approach is wrong, not the gearbox (or the engine).
The ZF8 performs very well for an automatic gearbox and it suits the S58 perfectly, but it cannot by its very nature be a dual clutch, take it and appreciate what it can do, do not ask it for what it is not supposed to be.
Well if enough people complain then who knows? Can't imagine many people being attracted to ZF8-only future lineups, when MTs are gone.
