Haven't had an issue that way. I tried double clutching today (i.e. - clutch in -> neutral -> clutch out -> rev match -> clutch in) and it just seemed too cumbersome for normal commuting.

If skipping gears downshifting without double-clutching, it's MUCH easier on the target syncro if one expedites sequentially going through the gears to spool up the input shaft. That way, each syncro does a little work to spool up all that rotating mass.
