Aside from the lack of brake lights, slowing through the box puts additional strain on the gear train (I seem to recall the Advanced Motorists cite this as a reason not to do it) and it causes unnecessary wear on the clutch plates - brake pads and disc/ drums are relatively speaking very cheap and easy to replace.
Agreed that it still has nothing to do with shit driving.
