Hi, I'd say, that generally using tiles (or making presentation using single frame and tables) leads to less complex application. There might however be cases, when using frames could solve a problem or two. We had a system where we used hidden frame containing lot of client side information and other hidden frame where we reloaded javascripts, which were making changes in main frame, where something like 1000 layers where shown and they were clickable. I can not imagine how that application could be rewritten without using frames (reloading main frame on every click would lead to major network load problems). However I must say that to support and extend that application, it was nightmare. So, my opinion is that if you can solve problem without frames - do it. Besides it might help you, if one day you need to port your application do mobile network enabled devices...
