I think a lot of it has to do with getting comfortable with 2nd gear. When first learning to drive a manual, I always felt like I was going stall in 2nd gear. You find out though, that as long as the car is moving forward, chances are, it won't stall. If you feel like you're about to stop, below 5 mph, disengage the clutch and shift to 1st. If I understand this correctly though, you should get into the habit of rowing down through the gears... very easy with syncro rev.
