Gary that was actually frustrating for me as well to get used to. This is only an issue when you are going from fast to turning at a signal, but I do what you say, I slow down from 7th gear to a reasonable speed, at which point I have to look to see what gear I'm in (it's really hard to count the downshifts when they occur at 1k rpm because you can barely feel them at all), usually I'm in 4th, so I smack the paddles twice.
After a while though you get used to it, you know what gear your car is in because you know how it responds to a situation.
Also, I would guess most people have made their choice before they even go for a test drive. This is why you don't see many DCT drivers being confused by their transmission's shifting, you see MT drivers reporting about their test drives. They don't plan on liking the transmission, and they need reasons to not like it.
I still don't miss the 3rd pedal, but I do miss playing with neutral at stop lights.
