I have always had manual transmission and in occasions that I get to drive a car with automatic transmission or something like the DCT, though I have had the temptation to use my left foot to brake, I try not to do it as I have always held the opinion that it is bad practice. I definitely would not want to "like it" or get used to it. Braking with the left foot opens the door to your having your right foot on the accelerator while the left foot is on the brakes -- a practice that may lead to an accident. By using ones right foot either on the accelerator or the brakes will almost eliminate what may cause an accident. Anyway, try to avoid getting used to having your left foot on the brakes -- just my opinion and advice.
