Skill required isn't the issue here - it's sheer comfort factor. It's just not as pleasant.
Sure you get used to driving a button clutch - I drove one for two years - but that's not the point. When you do as much driving as I do on a daily basis, you want everything to be as easy as possible. There's a reason all cabs are auto.
The other reason is component lifespan. Button clutches are much harder on the drivetrain than the organic ones, especially when combined with a reasonable amount of torque & power.

Sadly I can't afford to have a daily driver and a hobby car, so I just need to find the best compromise. As I said in the original message - I am aware that a button clutch is the best option. I just want to know if an organic one can take this sort of punishment, and if so what compound should I use.

[clubagreenie] Thanks for the tip. Looking into that now.
[SL666] I'll give them a buzz - thanks for the lead.
