I agree though, you shouldn't need it unless the hill is so steep that you just can't react fast enough. Either that or you are worried about the car behind you. Now that so many people grow up on autos and have never driven a manual, a lot of people end up stopping far to close to cars on hills.

Actually I have! There was one hill in SF than I had to use the handbrake on, but for the most part even there it wasn't necessary.
