I've never been big on the "always be in gear" philosophy. I think it's ok to drift in neutral as long as you're in control of the vehicle.
I coast SOMETIMES, but I'm a believer in always being in gear, and in the power band. I want to be able to move right away if I need to. I would never coast in traffic, for instance.
