Default Move under idle power only - 6mt?

Does anyone else ever creep along under only idle power in 1st gear?

Just found out I could do this a few weeks ago and it makes stop/go traffic a lot easier. The throttle tip-in is a little jerky at very low speeds (< 5 mph), and I hated always clutching in and out when creeping along. Then I discovered that if you're going really slow, you can just let the clutch out in 1st gear, and the idle power will keep the car inching forward at about 2 or 3 mph. Only works on level ground, and very small upgrades.

Just curious if I'm the only one.
