The problem with tuple is, in my opinion, that once you have tuple, why not a triple or a quadruple? Those are just as often used. And once you start thinking along these lines, it becomes obvious (again imo) that arrays or ArrayList or other Collection is easier and already present.

Plus as Lew pointed out making a new type of object is almost trivial. I've made a special purpose triple but never a tuple, so tuple wouldn't help me. If it's truly quick and dirty I skip the nice getters and setters and just make the instance variables public.
