Yep. There are different scenarios that call for both methods. The handbrake is very convenient and I use it a lot with uphill starts.
Some cars (Audi R8) actually have a feature called Hill Hold Assist with the manual cars. On a substantial incline, the car will automatically apply the brakes momentarily until you start to move forward.
