Yes, I do - several others do too. Webservices are great for sending and receiving complex data - I use it in an RIA to receive a complex object (Object with arrays, properties, sub-arrays, sub objects, etc) then modify the object, and send it back. I then also use it to invoke c# methods on the server. SOAP is not the smallest of protocols, but it's very very flexible.
