Handbrake or not with MT

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but if someone can't drive a stick properly then they have no business in a car with one either.

The argument is these are skilled drivers and some even track their cars but they learned the handbrake method. The discussion started because the new 981 MT has a hill hold feature and some folks really don't like it and I can see why. Mine is a PDK so no worry there, on my 986 MT I never use handbrake.

I personally think Porsche made a mistake with this feature on MT.
