It IS a nice skill to have, and it's not a bad idea to learn how to do it. It's a terrible idea to make it a habit to do it all the time for no reason (the OP's point insinuates that, which is why I am making such strong statements). I badly hurt my left leg in a motorcycle accident in the USA, and the skill proved invaluable.

Had a bad sprain in the Army, and knowing how "clutchless" shifting worked was very valuable, as it would have been one hell of a drive back to the house. But I sure as heck don't do it on a regular basis.
