Nor would I unless you're practicing on a beater or you really know what you're doing. If you match the revs EXACTLY you won't do any damage. The reason there's a clutch pedal is 1) to get started in 1st and 2) because the vast majority of people don't want to learn clutchless shifting because it's rather advanced and, therefore, hard.

When starting out driving a clutch, matching 'revs' isn't going to come naturally,( I really don't know about tranny 'revs', I drive by RPM's) hence following the RPM's,

Revs=revolutions. It's the same thing as RPM. When you blip the throttle to 4000 RPM because you know that the gear you're shifting into will be at 4,000 RPM at the speed you're going, you're revmatching.
And yes, hydro clutches are nice until you have to bleed the damn thing
