I have a 09 Tacoma 4 cylinder manual & it's not a problem as long as your not really tripping through the gears.....I have driven new Gen XB's and know just what you're talking about. You do get use to it, it just takes a couple hours of constant shifting to sort things out. I test drove a Nissan Frontier 6 speed/V6 combo once and really had a rough time getting smooth with it. The delay just really threw me. The best DBW vehicle I've experienced was a 01 VW New Beetle w/ 5 speed/ Turbo 1.8 combo, silky smooth, no delay. Keep practicing.
