Its pretty decent to do. Makes playing those chords easier. I personally would use them as a variation to play those chords, embellishing my chord pallette.

Interesting and sounds very pleasant, but he's playing EBF#BBE which is Bsus4, not B: BD#F#. His Bm is Bm7 add4. It's always good to avoid barré chords though.
Sorry to be a pedant, but some people would follow this as a truth and miss the embellishment bit and as you say misterlutherman, a variation.

On steel string acoustics we are often approximating chord sounds or hinting at them. There is a difference between musical theory and pseudo science! Of course, it should be second nature to avoid barre chords !

Furthermore classical and especially flamenco players make extensive use of them.

Furthermore classical and especially flamenco players make extensive use of them. I suppose I was speaking with my 'classical' hat on where it is always advisable to finger a chord where possible without barring - that stems from the desire to avoid unnecessary tension in the hand (sometimes it can simplify fingerings though, a hinge barré for example)... having said that, there is a great technique which uses the natural forces of the body to play barré chords, David Leisner explains it in great depth in his new book "Playing with Ease'.
