Yeah, you'll get used to it. This is the first DBW car I've had, and it's a stick at that (wouldn't have it any other way). Every other stick shift vehicle I've had had a real throttle cable, and you could actually "feel" the engine through the gas pedal. Not so with this.
Yes, it took me a while to get used to feathering the throttle. I've had the car for right at 15 months now, and I'm pretty much perfect with it. Like caddymac, my issue is still with the transition between warm/cold weather. Now that it's cooled down some, the cold idle is higher, and I'll sometimes accidentally rev it high when starting out, or during the 1-2 shift. When it idles high like that, you almost don't need to touch the gas at all. But otherwise, while driving, I've really got the timing down so that when I let off to shift, I'm in the next gear and letting the clutch out as the engine naturally falls to the RPM of that gear. It'll just come in time for you.
I can, however, smoothly run the engine from 1000 to 2000 RPM in neutral. I can stop at any RPM I want to with the gas pedal. So something may indeed be amiss with the calibration on yours if 1000 to 2000 RPM comes in one fell swoop.
