Double clutch downshifting is easier to do smoother than heel-toe rev-match "regular" downshifting, but it does take slightly longer since there's two depressions of the clutch instead of just one. However, in heel-toe downshifting, you hold the clutch in for a split second, whereas in double clutching, you barely need to wait at all while the clutch is out in neutral before depressing clutch again (assuming stock clutch travel and no clutch stop).
That being said, "regular" heel-toe downshifts require you to be much more in tune with your car to do properly, whereas double-clutch you can smoothly downshift in *almost* any car. It's really fun to see people's reactions when I drive their car in regards to "WTF? how did you downshift so smoothly?" LOL
With practice, it's pretty easy. Don't think of it as steps, but all one smooth coordinated motion. Just like how you don't go *step clutch* *shift to N* *blip throttle* *shift to next lower gear* *release clutch*.
Eventually, I'll get a GoPro and try to record all this...
