I guess sometimes I want decreased pedal input to slow the car down more than other times, and sometimes I want increased pedal input to accelerate more than others. Traction control solves this for the most part though. I'll have to get ahold of an ev and see what it's like. Winter driving is one of the times where I did prefer a manual so that lifting the throttle didn't mean losing control, but I guess I've never had a car with modern traction control either.
