Yep. On top of that, it makes the players feel as though they are more in control. They know if they did well or not against a defense, rather than leaving it up to the DM to declare, which can at times feel... obfuscated. (Not pointing any fingers, but I'm sure you've been in games where the DM rolls saves behind the screen. It doesn't mean they're changing rolls, but it still leaves you feeling less in control :P)
