Yup, in some domains it definitely still makes sense. GPUs work well for highly-data-parallel applications (they're essentially vector machines, modulo branch divergence) and VLIW-style DSPs work because the code is numerical and easy to schedule at compile time. I've worked mostly in the "need performance as high as possible for general-purpose code" domain, so I may be biased!
