Well, yes, if its going to be a long light, its best to slip it out of gear. That will decrease the load on the throw out bearing and extend its life.
So, I don't worry about getting away from a light too quickly, because I want to be sure the intersection is clear of drivers "extending" their green light ..... if you get my drift.
Yep, a little more gas when you're starting off, until you get the hang of it, will preclude a lot of stalls. The clutch can handle it ...... that's its job .....
