4th gear will take you faster than you ever want to go on a public road. If you're trying to accelerate hard, you should be somewhere in the 1-4 gears, yes. The rest is just there for fuel economy.

And what do you mean by rev matching a pain
No idea, but I suspect he means he's shifting between 1-2-3 in M-mode while crawling in stop and go commuter traffic. If so, just put it in D, that's the beauty of the 7AT. Rev matching is automatic, so I assume he means he doesn't like it blipping the throttle when he's shifting at a crawl?
