I was SOOOO happy to find my FWD PT Cruiser does some AWESOME ebrake turns in the snow…

Yes, shifting into neutral after you are stopped will prevent a tiny amount of wear on your clutch.
I rarely do it, and I have 172,000 miles on my clutch.
But, everytime you shift in and out of gears, or depress the clutch peddle you put wear and tear on other parts. IMHO, it’s a wash.
Also, when in neutral at a light, if you don’ watch the light very closely, and get in gear before the light turns green, chances are you are holding up traffic.
Basically, do your best to prevent slipping/riding the clutch. That’s all you really need to do.
