I love the M-DCT, and think it's perfect for the M4 (both control, feel, and speed, and I only drive it manually), but I understand people who'd like a smoother transmission.
This has been AMG's argument for the MCT: way smoother, way more capable, and in the latest iteration, just as fast as a DCT with a new 9 speed coming out.
It's an interesting case from a dork perspective: wet start-up clutch pack like a motorcycle, then individual clutches on each of the 4 planetary gear sets for "double de-clutching":
