I still use WDDX in old and new applications. Not often, but I find it valuable for storing data in the database that I don't need to be searchable.
I'm currently working on a flex application where the user can set a variety of preferences. For example, a list of items to be automatically selected in a certain list control. The flex app calls a getPrefs() method of a cfc, which retrieves the WDDX packet from the database for the specific user, converts it to a struct (one line of code), then returns it to Flex, which handles it quite nicely as an object. Dealing with an XML object is considerably more complex, although that may just be my inexperience with XML objects.
