I don't see how this is any different than using the right foot only. You have to move your foot off the accel either way.
Under normal circumstances, I will still have my foot on the accel pedal (or over it) and am ready to react as needed.

I agree. Whatever floats your boat, gets you through the night, &c. If driving two-footed is not comfortable for you, then, by all means, don't do it.

What I don't agree with is whether or not two-footed driving is inherently unsafe. If anything, it should be safer (in theory) to be able to accel or brake without having to move the right foot around.
