Yes alot.

you don't double clutch when you're upshifting...
and no matter how advanced your gear box gets nothing is better than a human operating the machine you can let your synchros do the work but 1)you'll wear out your synchros and 2)you won't get as an effective response from the throttle as you would if you properly double clutched.... double clutching isn't for slowing down......"
I hear what your saying, What I meant was truck divers would sometimes do while upshifting. I don't understand what you mean by "you won't get as an effective response from the throttle as you would if you properly double clutched....".
Here is a question for you, when your on the road in fivth gear and you notice something a couple KMs away and you want to start slowing down. Do you double clutch from fivth to fourth or do you just go straight from fivth to four with a little blip?
I think the biggest thing hear is you want to match speeds, double clutching is the best if not the only way to do it but when I am driving down town I don't need to have my car out of gear and thinking about clutching and shifting back into gear. I don't know if anyone said this but you are trying to get all three shafts in your box to the same speed.

yeah i agree with you, cuz i have big feet it's much easier to get the edge of both pedals, esp if you're in barefeet or socks or whatever, you feel so much more, i didn't like it at first but after a while i got hooked! lol, actually feeling the pedals as opposed to just believing it's there cuz you're moving
