I've used frames on my website. The result is much easier navigated, and somewhat better looking.

Looks-wise the same thing can easily be accomplished with fixed positioning (which is a little tricky to get working in IE, but it's still quite possible).
Navigation-wise I highly disagree. Frames really screw up the back-button and they screw up linking. Linking to a specific page on a site which uses frames for navigation is quite troublesome and very messy. That is to say, frames break
my (i.e. the user's) natural forward-back button navigation and they screw up one of the most important features of the web: hyperlinking. Furthermore, that's only addressing the invariable suckyness -- it's a lot worse when you start getting into all the ways people make frames suck in practice.
