Ime it's like operating systems, most people you hear seem overly opinionated when it's not that big a deal.
We have a non-flappy paddle DSG. So a quick way to lower gearing is Sport mode, if you need real control you push the stick to Manual then push up or down. I found it really useful when staying with a mate in darkest Devon down a long steep rough road. The auto jumps to 2nd almost immediately (which was too high) so used manual a lot to select 1st. I do also use it for fun sometimes.
