The first car I ever owned was a 1st Gen Mr2 (fell in live with mid engine set up). The entire time I owned the car it had an issue with what I believe was the idle control valve. Basically it would not idle. Once the choke wore off after the engine heated up the revs would just fall off and the car would stall unless you gave it gas. So had to do a lot of three pedal footwork. At a stop light my left foot was on the clutch and my right foot was on the brake and the gas. After a few months of driving like this I prided myself as a master manual driver(like every 18 year old with an old sports car prob). If I could drive that car without stalling I would never stall a car the idled properly. But even after I moved on to other manual cars I still stall on occasion. I think a couple times a year is a good estimate. Just not paying attention for a split second. I think we all pride ourselves on not stalling as it is kind of macho to say " I NEVER STALL" but it happens and it is nothing to be embarrassed about.
