Yep. Any interrupted cuts, anything where you need a really sharp edge (copper,anyone?), anywhere you do not have overwhelming power - inserts are designed for use in powerful machines and don't usually have sharp edges, so need more power than HSS.
Horses for courses. Though I mostly use inserts myself even on a minilathe.
