I find it actually easier when downshifting, but I can pop it into gear on upshifts too. Also while used with normal clutching, rev matching is in theory even easier on the clutch/tranny as the flywheel is spinning at a more similar speed as the driveline at engaugement.
*sits back and waits for someone to tell him hes going to destroy his transmission, clutch, flux capacitor, etc etc.*

im not sure the flux capacitor is in any way linked to the transmission... i think it is part of the exhaust system, like a space time continueum version of a turbo.

In addition, if I'm about to come to a stop light and it suddenly turns green, I double-clutch it into first so as to not beat-up the synchro. Makes it much easier to get the lever in engaged, and helps alleviate grinding.

the only way to engage the clutch with your heel on the floor is if you had a roller on the clutch pedal that would allow your heel to be the stationary pivot point on the floor. im pretty sure everyone has there foot off the ground.
