Now that you've discovered how smooth you can clutch start, why would you use the starter? (Aside from when you've come to a full stop.)
Starters used to be wear items on old cars, but in my opinion, it's a non-issue on newer vehicles.
I only know of one person who has worn out a starter on a car that's less than 10 years old - and that's the guy who invented the word "hypermiling." That was also an automatic (so no clutch starting option). I wouldn't guess how many tens of thousands of times his starter might have been cycled, but you can be sure it was an extremely high number!
