Tom Kyte has a use for it in his book. You create your own Insert Lock. I used it once last year. All I did was create a wrapper to make it easier for others to use it. I was just a contractor there so I didnt get the big picture.
What have you used DBMS_LOCK for? Anything interesting any useful? Anyone have any code samples? I've used locks in java and unix when I do threading, I have not seen much cause for it inside the Oracle database.
