Many a Ferrari were being brought back with burnt out clutches. No more! Professional drivers use paddles because that's all business related.
I've seen the same thing - many who drive manual suck at it. It's not easy to do it well. I sometimes suck at it too because I'm too tired, distracted, or in the mood to listen to music rather than the engine.
