You can't just use the brake and gas in this situation - without stepping on the clutch your car will be jerky when you accelerate and will stall when you brake to a halt or to a very low speed. I haven't driven an MT that doesn't need clutch modulation at crawling speed.

Yes, and it just boils down to the individual driver. I travel from Antipolo to QC and back on a daily basis; half an hour of heavy traffic out of 1.5 hours of travel is no big deal. I remember months ago having to endure heavy weekend traffic from MOA to Antipolo, and it was my right foot that was so sore having to work the pedals.
