Yeah, my left foot went for a phantom clutch for a while after getting it. It also took me a while to think of it differently than just any other auto and start using the paddles. Again, it's not the same as a true manual, but it does offer some of the same control under different circumstances. Driving on a twisty road can be fun using the paddles, as you're downshifting while braking, then upshifting exiting the corner, etc.
