I have no opinion on the BB issue, but I do have opinions about frames. Some of the reasons I hate frames: - frames sites are almost always too big for my browser and I end up having to hscroll. I hate hscrolling - most of the stuff in most of the frames I want to see rarely, but it takes up about half the available space and makes the main content too small or hard to read. - the wrong frame always has focus and space/pgup/pgdn/up/dn don't work. I hate mousing. - I fling URLs around like a basketball team player, and my preferred method is to hit cmd-l to get the URL selected, hit cmd-c to copy, cmd-tab to switch to where I'm flinging, and cmd-v to paste. This is very efficient, until a stupid frames site comes along and I get the URL to the main page which is almost worthless. There's the mouse again. - people who still use frames generally are poor designers anyway so it's a vicious cycle. and last but not least - fr4m3z are so 14m3.
