Absolutely! I'm finding that I'm using parameter objects with much greater frequency, both as an inbound data object, and for outbound purposes. There are huge advantages IMO - a simpler, cleaner interface for method calls (no more methods requiring a zillion parameters!) and the option of returning complex structures from a function or method...it's nice having an easy way of returning something consistant that may contain detailed error information if somethingwent wrong, or the result if it worked.
