    i think it depends on what you're doing... i've found them to be really handy, especially when using smart objects. also, you can select the vector mask, make a path, and copy/paste that into illustrator, where you can then use the pathfinder to make other masks. the advantage of that is that the edge won't interpolate, giving you that weird "trapping" issue on the edges (which you'll get if you command click on a rastor mask and select inverse, for example).
