DCT is just another version of automatic... each version of which loses out to the next one that is faster..

Everyone really clobs up the M-DCT w/ with other DCTs because it's all DCTs but M-DCT is really unique compared to what you find in a PDK or Audi DSG. It's behavior is the only one of it's kind that I know of that replicates a MT in some ways. You even park it like one, there isn't one like it and it would be lame to lose it.
Obviously with German car companies they tend to apply any tech that is the best so I'm not surprised they would end up choosing a ZF AT like the F90 M5.
I prefer to have the M-DCT because it's quirky. That's why I love it. In the current world's obsession of pushing forward so much, you lose a bit of soul in certain things. Electric cars are probably the best example of this.
