Thats about on par with my experience. Over the months ive had to teach myself to stop thinking about it and just shift/clutch like normal.
At first i tried to shift "with" it if you know what i mean, but all l i seemed to do was confuse it, lol. Get into "oh my god this idiot is about to hit the 3 cars in front of me!!" mode, and see what i mean. It's flawless when you're driving by instinct.
It is fun to brake to a stop with the clutch down and use it to blip the throttle tho
