I think if one is in a town centre environment, then you don't need the power band of the vehicle, though you don't want it chugging either.
In that environment if you have to do it quickly then you probably shouldn't be doing it.
These days from a speed of less than 30mph a car will stop dead if you hit the brakes and do nothing else, and will accelerate if you push the accelerator and do nothing else. The days of absolutely needing to coordinate gearboxes, brakes and accelerators have long since passed.
It's all about forethought.
Quite different in higher speed environments of course, where things can and do change quickly.
