I leave it in gear and keep my foot on the clutch for 3 reasons

1. If somebody behind you cant stop in time or doesnt stop in time you have a good chance of just letting the clutch out so you can get out of the way, no screwing with the shifter.

2. I think its a fatser way to take off, agian now screwing with the shifter

3. I think its less wear on the drive shaft bearings, with the clutch in Nothing after the clutch is spinning, But with the car in neutral and clutch out the whole dirve shaft assembley is spinning.

I guess its the way I have alwasy done it.
