Just got used to the heel shifter, not bad, but now to get used the the CLANG of the tranny going into gears ... always makes me smile ... CLANG ... the exact opposite of my former jap bikes -click-
CLANG ! - I hope this things holds together !
like the other guy said - shifting in the Down direction for either up or down gear selection works for me.
CLANG ! - Is there oil in there ! (maybe I need an extended warranty)
CLANG ! - yikes

Since I smashed my foot a few years back, I use it all the time. It is harder to get it into neutral using it so I have to use the toe shifter for that (I can feel that on my foot). But other than that I use the heel shifter. I test rode a new Limited & the way they had that heel shifter on, it sucked, would have had to lower that before I rode it home if I would have bought it.

I use it all the time. I really don't understand the reasoning behind needing more room on the floorboard, if I put my foot back where the heel shifter was my knees would be bent up underneath me, but I'm 6'1" and maybe the shorter leg guys feel comfortable that way.
Heck, I wish I could get rid of the toe shifter to give me more room up front

Remove the toe shifter! Now there is an idea I like! (@ 6'2" I think your assessment of the situation is right on.
