It's ******** to not be able to adapt to the bike you are riding.
I've never noticed a downside to having a freewheel. I ride fixed 90% of the time, but I really like having a freewheel on my mtb and touring rig because they allow me to shift and dodge obstacles more effectivly. I rarely find myself coasting on either of those bikes, cause it feels good to keep the legs moving, but I'm glad to have the option.
