It is liberating to play with just bare fingers. When I finger pick a steel-string guitar, I usually use a thumb pick to balance out the bass with the trebles better. On an electric guitar, there is usually so much bass that I just use a bare thumb; same with classical playing.
When I'm figuring out how to play a song off YouTube, I always just use bare fingers so that I am not messing with a thumb pick.
