I don't think there is a general consensus - opinions differ. I've been driving mostly MTs for 40 years and while I have mixed feelings to some degree, overall I like the rev matching feature. No matter how good you are, you'll never be as good as a computer in matching so it does make for smoother downshifts. It can be argued that it takes away from the driving experience but for me this is not significant. It did take me a bit to get used to it, and it does turn off in Sports+ mode, or as the poster above has done it can be coded out if you really don't like it.
Although I have never worn out a clutch within 150K miles (I don't do a lot of city driving) I think this feature may reduce clutch wear.
