As the title says, I'm just curious how many people (if any) uses engine braking over normal braking. Talked about it a little and kinda curious as to how to do it properly w/o destroying your clutch. Kinda been messing around with it. Don't wana break anything though...

Engine braking is best braking.
If you wanna save fuel, engine brake like usual
If you wanna save the clutch and be silky smooth, get good at rev matching
If you are a f*ck, use neither and lay on your brakes
