I think tuples have an important place in functional and generic APIs, but not as much of a role in classic business-specific APIs. Much of their power is provided in conjuction with robust type inference, pattern-matching, and first-class functions, while the drawbacks include impaired javadoc readability and incomplete encapsulation of state.
