Like others have said, it's a lot easier when braking hard so it's not as common on the street.

I've however begun using it for hill starts. Instead of using the hand brake method or riding the clutch to hold position on a hill, I just blip the throttle and "catch" revs as I let the clutch slip a little bit. That way I don't have to fiddle around with the hand brake as much. On steeper hills, I'll still use the hand brake, but for most gentle inclines, it works perfectly.
