Frames are still an awful idea, even if Search Engine spiders can index them more effectively than in the past (which I don't think they do, actually) Why are they so bad?

What if I want to print a page and I'm not a computer whiz?

What if I'm handicapped and using assistive technology?

What if I want to use the back button in my browser?

What if I want to bookmark a bit of content?

None of these functionalities work well in frames without having to jump through right click hoops, and not everyone knows to use that trick. And the cardinal rule of web design is DON'T PISS OFF YOUR VISITORS. Frames break that rule over and over again (if your visitors stick around that long.) They're a usability nightmare.
