I've seen quite a few admin backends that used frames. I don't recall wanting to tear my hair out from that at the time.
I mean, alot of these could be used as arguements for anything. It blocks your view? Your table-based layouts (or css, or heck, your non-existant layout) blocks my view. What do you call whitespace?! Or margins? Heck... your images blocks my view of the background... if thats what you mean.
There are hacks to emulate position: fixed, but suffer from really weird results in macs. Its kind of sad that just because IE can't handle something means for most people that feature doesn't exist. (Like adjacent selectors in CSS...) Course as a user of mozilla, I pretty much get the shaft if somebody wants to make a browser-specific site.
But anyway, whats the arguement here? I've seen it blocks your screen and that its unprofessional. Pretty much anything can take up screen space, so IMO thats a moot point. As to unprofessional, I truly think that is more of a design consideration than an actual problem with frames themselves.
