Default (MT question) Who honestly uses 1st gear besides on a hill?

1st gear is so damn low range torquey.

I never really use cause its so rough. I usually always use 2nd gear to pull away from a stop sign or stop light on level ground or when the car is facing down a hill.

Even the syncros in the tranny will not allow you to get into the 1st gear gate unless you are at a complete stop.

I think that 2nd gear is the smoothest way for me to get going from a light or stop.

What is everyone else's opinion on 1st gear in our manual trans car?
