I've got nearly 6k miles behind the wheel on my 2022 G82 6MT and have absolutely zero regrets. I've had many different manual vehicles over the years, including some of the most popular (S2000, Porsche, Corvette, Mustang and Miata) and prefer my sports and sporty cars with a manual transmission. I have about 25yrs of driving manuals under my belt, and would put the G82 feel somewhere near the top for smoothness and most daily-driveable. The S2000 had the best shifter feel hands down and this doesn't touch that, but the G82 is easy to drive. I have no issues at all with the 1-2 shift. Coming from a C7 corvette with an aftermarket shifter, the G82 is much lighter in feel.

I'm definitely a fan of manual transmissions though and didn't even consider this car without one, so im biased.
