The tab on my kickstand safety is broken (thank goodness) so I can start in gear or in neutral. In gear I have to hold the clutch (duh) Good stuff, remember you'll likely only use neutral when you want to take your hand off the clutch at a light... after a bit of riding you're hand will get tired, taking your hand off while riding, or at a stop light you'll want to put it in neutral so you can bring your hand down, or adjust your jacket etc. As for parking, I park in 1st gear 100% of the time, I don't want Scarlet rolling away.
