Retro fitting cruise control?

DBW means that when you press the throttle pedal, you are not connected to the throttle with a cable. Instead, the pedal position is relayed to the ECU, and it then decides how much to open the servo controlled throttle. So you give it full throttle to jump on to a roundabout, and the ECU says "Nope, thats not economical, I'll give you 30% throttle and then we'll see who's the boss". So you end up slipping the clutch out of frustration, just to make quick starts.

I think I prefer not to have DBW myself. But eventually, we wont have any choice in the matter as all new cars are having them as standard.
