We need to ask ourselves in this and many other subjects...
Exactly what is normal? If something is new it may be strange but it may be better. It all depends on what we want from what we've changed.
It would feel strange though I imagine but there has to be an advantage other than driver assistance technology improvement.

Like I said before, my 2 main beefs:
- No feel from the pedal to indicate how far it's in, or whether it's moving slightly - Just can't beat the slight "stiction" of a good cable for holding a cruising speed.
- You're at the mercy of the emissions engineers who calibrate the ecu. They determine how laggy the engine response is, how quickly it drops revs between gearshifts, how the throttle is mapped to teh accelerator pedal etc. etc.
The guys doing all this are aiming squarely at lowering emissions and fuel consumption, so we (the driver) come second. If you drive a cable car back-to-back with a 'leccy throttled one, the differences in the latter should be glaringly obvious, and not for the better (imho). Try a last-model Astra manual, and see what you think of the 1/2 second delay in engine response.
