Even without a 3rd pedal, are still tons of nuances and challenges to enjoy while driving.
I am not sure what "distraction" you are talking about.
Driving a manual becomes a part of the driving experience, not a thought process, not a distraction.
It is like saying, I'd rather be pushed in a wheelchair around town than constantly being distracted thinking which foot is next, while walking.

After 35 years of driving manuals, I am definitely not distracted by shifting to the next gear or have not thought about -- hmmm, what gear I am in or should shift to - comes naturally...
