Is it better to rev match or to coast?

I've clutchless shifted on multiple occasions. To me it really isn't that hard. But then again, I have driven numerous vehicles without synchros that are a lot less forgiving than the S2000 transmission. I did it for the simple fact that I knew my clutch was going out and wanted some extra time to save up for a new clutch. No harm done and with ~100K miles on my transmission it shifts and drives perfectly. No grinds, shifter is smooth as butter, and no howling or whining.

Ok may be a dumb question here, but what's the feeling on the shifter when I'm clutched in and pushing toward a gear. Sometimes it offers up slight resistance, then slides into place, all using the same force. Is that synchro related or something else altogether?

That's the synchro working. During that time of resistance it's bring things up or down to speed.

but if your going 55mph and a jack wanger cuts you off and you go into neutral and your coasting, just dont put it into 6th gear. do what you have been doing rev match the best you can. rev it a bit and let the rpms drop and let off the clutch when its right.

I don't think anyone is saying that rev matching to do this is bad.

Okay that's what I thought but it confused me for a second.
