YEP! I totally agree.

There's a lot of hill here in Los Angeles and in the Valley, and the drivers here LOVE to get right on your A$s and give you no roll-back room at all. I don't know why they do this, but they do. So you have to learn to do hills with no roll back. But better practice in my opinion is stopping with the brakes on the hill, and then going without rolling back. It's one thing to be on the clutch and gas already, but another to go from clutch/brake to clutch/gas without rolling back.

They used to have a Hill-brake system that would hold the brakes down on a hill until the clutch was pressed in... Kinda cool, but not for me.
