Handbrake start is for noobs. Learn to use your clutch.

Handbrake start is what's taught in countries where the the driving test isn't "Press go pedal, press stop pedal, congrats you passed"

In upward inclines it's better for your clutch too.

Not having the coordination to use both feet and both hands independently of each other is what's for noobs

That was the case 20 years ago.

Aye even my poverty-spec car locks the manual transmission on a hill until the clutch bites

Didn't even know it did it until I'd had it for over a year 😂
