with respect to the use of my brakes, my main consideration is not brake dust, but rotor warpage. When coming to a stop on a stoplight for example, I try to brake early and gradually. After coming to a nearly full stop, I let the car move forward a little so that the rotors can cool evenly.

This is because I've read an article in Car&Driver or Road&Track that the part of the rotor under the pads will remain hotter than the rest of the rotor, and can contribute to rotor warpage.

And I hate the feel of warped rotors. It can even trigger your ABS prematurely. And it will definitely result in uneven tire wear.

As for braking into a corner, I try to practice "trail braking", which is continuing to brake while cornering (although gradually letting it go), to shift more weight onto the front tires to improve cornering traction. Of course, this has to be done very smoothly or it will upset the suspension and your cornering line.

Another smooth driver was/is Alain Prost. His driving was so clinical and deceptively quick that he was called "The Professor".
