Every clutch has its own personality. Some are tight and finicky and if you don't let it out smoothly and with sufficient gas, it stalls. Others are loose and forgiving. Your initial finesse is no reflection on you. It is all a matter of practice and learning the car.
One practical thing is you might want to plan your routes so that you don't have to start from a dead stop on a hill in traffic. If you don't give it enough gas, it will stall and you will roll backwards. People are not accustomed to there being that many manual transmissions on the road so people don't leave room between cars. If you have someone right up your arse in that situation it is stressful. In that situation, it is better to give it too much gas and have the engine roar and look like a fool than to not give it enough and stall and roll back into someone.
Once you get the hang of it, you will never want to go back.
