Why use your clutch to brake when you can use your brakes to brake?
I've always believed that brake pads are cheaper than clutches, unless you get your clutches for free

Next time you downshift from, say, 4 to 3 at 3000 rpm, try bliping the throttle before you slip it into 3 and try it without bliping the throttle, you'll see what I mean.
