Totally agree with all the above posts! Please don't down shift into 1st at 20mph, it's a terrible idea. 1st gear is designed to be a "get you going" gear. Once you're rolling you can immediately transition to 2nd.
And if you are coming to a complete stop, wait until you are stopped before putting it in 1st, if the light turns green and you are still rolling, even at like 3mph, 2nd is the gear for you. Unless you like hauling ass everywhere. If that's the case rev match to first.
I downshift to 1st on slow corners occasionally, like an immediate 90 degree turn. But only if I'm dogging on it, and then I'm heel and toeing to rev match so it doesn't harm the trans.
