It's slow, but in most cars the idle is torquey enough that it's not that slow. My beater doesn't even have 1st gear anymore, so I start in second, and I can still go from a full stop to clutch fully released and rolling in like 4 seconds (if that) without touching the gas at all.

I feel like this is something that you just have to do to learn though. You can't smoothly and competently operate the clutch without understanding the bite-point, and for a noob it's going to be really tough to get a feel for that bite-point if they aren't taking it very slow at first. Speed will come, usually after only a few starts

It's also nicer to pedestrians and other drivers if the car isn't sporadically revving or lurching.

Exactly! In city driving or parking lots when I'm just creeping around I literally don't touch the gas at all sometimes
