Unpopular opinion: I still run a site with frames from 1998
Most folks say frames make sites hard to use today. I never took mine down, and it actually lets people find things easier. Has anyone else found frames useful?

Found that frames work great for my old reference wiki, keeps the navigation locked while you drill down. Guess they stuck around because they actually solve a specific problem for some sites.

Totally agree they have their place. Built a support wiki a while back where the left nav had to stay put no matter how deep you went. Modern single-page apps try to do the same thing but honestly, frames just worked without a ton of complex code. They get hate for being old school, but the back button actually functions right with them, which is a huge win. Sometimes the simple, ugly fix is the correct one.
