I downshift to 1st many times daily, usually double clutching for it. Very easy at the right speed.

For example turning into my driveway, it's an uphill driveway that I have to turn into driving uphill. I just clutch in from ~10mph from 2nd, momentum slows, double clutch and have a nice easy downshift to 1st for a right turn into the driveway. The clutch has no trouble catching at that speed, soft as a feather.

But It's also easy to just rev match downshift into 1st if necessary, for instance during Auto-X, but it is more forceful on the syncros.
