Back in the day with photoshop, the pen tool was the only thing reliable enough to make clear selections. In addition, there are times when you want to save the selection as a clipping mask and use it another program. The pen tool is still the most accurate is slower but really tight.

A QUICK TIP: You can press "D" to get the default Black/White foreground and background colors, and then "X" to exchange the foreground and background colors (in this case White/Black). This can especially helpful when masking. Cheers!
