The Barret etudes are exactly what I need at the stage where I am--the Hal Leonard 16-bar ditties are too easy, but the other books of etudes like Ferling are just too hard, too intimidating. And the technical exercises found in Gekeler, Rubank, et al, aren't really "pieces" as such. They're just "exercises".
So I think there will continue to be a niche for Barret. Intermediate type studies can never be "obsolete" as long as there are students caught halfway between Go Tell Aunt Rhodie and Beethoven's 7th.
BTW, I find the Barret much more interesting to play since I used MusicMasterworks to make myself piano accompaniments to the first 9 or so, burned onto a CD. Maybe they only strike people as obsolete or useless if they're playing them unaccompanied. I find that with the accompaniment, they're musically quite charming, if perhaps a little simplistic, but then, they're not intended to be Mozart, they're only intended to help a student, say, learn how to slur left-Eb without getting blips.
And let us not forget introducing the student to ornamentation. I've been through them once without, and now I'm trying them "with". It's very interesting, and I'm sure, educational.
