The bent shifter moves the shift knob up and back to allow the shifter to reach the hand, when the seat is adjusted so that the left leg is fully extended when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. For some of us this backward movement of the shift ball location makes a big difference in shifting effort and engagement. Using short shift devices on the trans and shifter Also helps for the longer shift setups.
