Smart drivers do. I don't know why anyone does the fast foot shuffle.

Rev match downshifts.

Flashback to my Del Sol where I had to brake+heel tap the accelerator to downshift. Still took less coordination than using a damn touch screen infotainment system

I'm not sure what this means. How do you down shift when you're stopped?

There are a few possibilities:

It's faster, especially if the handbrake isn't applied already.
Some cars, like the one I drove most of the time in driving school, have an automation to keep braking for a second, so one just needs to: Brake, Clutch, Put in gear, Release Brake, Rev up engine a bit, Release Clutch.
My current car's Handbrake is basically non-functional, so I have to do the fast foot shuffle.
