For example, is there any change in nuance if I replace ように with と (or って in
casual speech) here:

日本人は他の国の人に比べて、相手の体を触ることにあまり慣れていないように感じます。

(The example is from a textbook lesson that discusses how in Japan it's less
common to shake hands, high five or hug each other as a greeting.)

question
word-choice nuances word-usage
Difference between と感じる and ように感じる
This nuance is quite simple:

Look at the following sentences:

```

    I feel that a tornado is coming
    
    I feel as if a tornado is coming
    
```

The difference is the strength of the assertion.

よう adds a bit of uncertainty.

```

    なぜか彼が僕のことをわからないような気がします
    
```

I don't know why but I feel as if my boyfriend doesn't understand me.
