Because you are playing with the clutch, it keeps you busy. And the total time it takes to shift feels shorter this way.

CVT are by definition using the best RPM possible from the engine for maximum power and efficiency.

Modern automatics are also quite fast.

Anyways the future is electric without gears.

It's not that it "feels shorter". It's that 9x/10 you've anticipated wanting the lower gear and are already in it.

I agree about electric, but I expect 2/3 speed gearboxes for the same reason your drill had multiple speeds.
