not bad for the car, BUT, you only have the brakes to reply on, no engine braking, so down a long hill this may cause the brakes to fade, or in an emergency, it's always good to also ahve the engine brake to rely on.
Still, that feeling of just floating down hill silently is hard to beat!

+1. I also have to say, that from what I have read, the car saves more fuel if, on a downhill road, we select a high gear(5th-4th) than selecting neutral because we help the engine to understand that we don't need to spend gas.
