Yeah, they have their new Payment Pro system which has a gateway API. I dont think they have any preference over the other. One of the biggest advantages with IPN is you dont have to worry about handling credit card numbers and how you are securily handling them. But then again like you said it is a bit clunkly to add to a payment system, and if paypal somehow fails you have to jump through hoops to figure out what happened and what to do next.
